Hey, all. A co-worker asked me a question, and I've got no idea how (or
if) it can be done. Bottom line: he'd like to save off the text from an
interpreter session, his thinking being that you've already tried to get
what you want, and now you just need to gussy it up in an editor.
import readline
readline.write_history_file([filename])
Just to clarify (I thought Daniel's answer was so easy it must
have misinterpreted the OP's request), that's a single string as
a filename, not a list containing a filename. I tried
filename = 'output.txt'
import readline
readline.write_history_file([filename])
and got a traceback about the expected parameter type. For
clarity, it should have been
readline.write_history_file(filename)
or
readline.write_history_file('output.txt')
But otherwise, Daniel's given a dead-easy solution.
