[Qgis-developer] Have custom functions available in the console

[Caroline Alexiou]

Hello,
Thanks, but this doesn't work in the console - it's invalid syntax.
Incidentally, I looked into the C++ code that initializes Python  for QGIS
(as I was looking for a solution to the issue above) and I made a pull
request to remove some duplicate code.
