You can look at ipython: http://ipython.scipy.org. Its 'pysh' profile does much of what you describe, and has a dedicated following of win32 users precisely for your usage case. It gets installed to your start menu under win32 as a separate entry from the 'raw' ipython. Stop by the users list if you have further questions.
