The interpreter inherits the command shell's history function:

Start a second Python session. up-arrow etc. will bring back
the previous Python session's commands (and not the ones you
entered in the surrounding shell)
This isn't true, at least not for ActivePython 2.7.2.5 under Windows
7-64. The second session has no history whatsoever.
Well I don't know what to say. It works for me with an almost
identical setup. (ActivePython 2.7.1.4 Win7 x64). And has worked
for me over countless setups on different machines / versions of
Windows / versions of Python etc.
Do you have the pyreadline module installed? ISTR that that takes
over from the standard cmd processing...
