I'll have to remember that one. It doesn't really fit my current use

However, cmd.Cmd does not provide command recall and
editing. According to the page above, that's provided by the readline
module
There is also prompt_toolkit[1] for even more fancy command‐line
handling. The documentation even states it “can be a very advanced pure
Python replacement for GNU readline, but it can also be used for
building full screen applications.” (It doesn’t depend on readline or
libedit.) It’s used by IPython for its history, editing, and completion
features. If cmd with readline is overkill for your use case then this
is even more so, but I thought it worth a mention.
