See ipython (http://ipython.scipy.org). It provides mostly what you want: In [1]: for i in range(3): ...: print i, ...: 0 1 2 In [2]: print 'hello' hello In [3]: exec In[1] 0 1 2 Readline history search is bound to Ctrl-P/N (type a few characters, then hit Ctrl-P/N to get previous/next lines with those matching chars). Ctrl-r search is also configured by default. HTH, f -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
