# History.py
#
# Store the file "History.py"
# in site-packages directory like "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages,"
# or a directory pointed by PYTHONPATH environment varable,
# or your home directory.
#
# Insert the line, "import History" to "~/.pystartup" file,
# and set an environment variable to point to it:
# "export PYTHONSTARTUP=${HOME}/.pystartup" in bash.
