I would like to permanently import os into python3.
I did look/google for a python config file.
Is there either a config file or some other way to have some import loaded permanently?

Have a look under "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" in the python man page.

I don't understand it says something about moving the library. I don't see how to load the import every time I bring up python3?

For interactive python only you can set the environment variable PYTHONSTARTUP, that defines a file that will be run at startup before the 1st prompt is given. It won't be run when running programs though as it would probably break a lot of programs.

Another question is "why?". Firstly, it doesn't seem too hard to add an import line at the start of the script. Secondly, if someone else was to look at your code they wouldn't immediately know that os had been imported outside of the script. If they then tried to copy your script, it wouldn't work.

Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in the answers, I just don't necessarily think it's a good idea.
