ipython [1] should help here:
IPython 0.10 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.
In [1]: %paste?
Type: Magic function
Base Class: <type 'instancemethod'>
String Form: <bound method InteractiveShell.magic_paste of
<IPython.iplib.InteractiveShell object at 0xb740096c>>
Namespace: IPython internal
File: /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/IPython/Magic.py
Definition: %paste(self, parameter_s='')
Docstring:
Allows you to paste & execute a pre-formatted code block from clipboard.
The text is pulled directly from the clipboard without user
intervention.
The block is dedented prior to execution to enable execution of method
definitions. '>' and '+' characters at the beginning of a line are
ignored, to allow pasting directly from e-mails, diff files and
doctests (the '...' continuation prompt is also stripped). The
executed block is also assigned to variable named 'pasted_block' for
later editing with '%edit pasted_block'.
You can also pass a variable name as an argument, e.g. '%paste foo'.
This assigns the pasted block to variable 'foo' as string, without
dedenting or executing it (preceding >>> and + is still stripped)
'%paste -r' re-executes the block previously entered by cpaste.
IPython statements (magics, shell escapes) are not supported (yet).

cpaste: manually paste code into terminal until you mark its end.
Unfortunatey, when I enter
In [2]: %paste
at the prompt it gives me (before I pasted anything)
