Bug Description

This recipe:

  [python]
  recipe = zc.recipe.egg
  eggs = (set of eggs I'm interested in)
  interpreter = python

creates a bin/python that doesn't act like real python: it ignores $PYTHONSTARTUP.

I've a custom ~/.pythonrc that's enabled by setting PYTHONSTARTUP=$HOME/.pythonrc which sets ups nice things like

  * persistent readline history
  * tab-completion for names
  * coloured prompt

None of those work in interactive sessions started with bin/python that's created by buildout.
