Automatically execute commands on launching python shell

I was wondering if there is a way to automatically run commands on entering the python shell as you would with the .bash_profile or .profile scripts with bash. I would like to automatically import some modules so I don't have to type the whole shebang everytime I hop into the shell.

Thanks,

Also consider using ipython if you're doing a lot of interactive work. Your options for this kind of automation expand significantly.
