If you have Magma, what I am thinking about is there called iload and used like load. You type load "myfile.py" (or %load "myfile.py") and the first line of the file appears after a prompt with the cursor at the end, then you hit Return and that line is executed, followed by a new prompt with the second line in it. etc. You only type load and the filename once. I googled for something like this in ipython and it seems that it can be hacked but is not provided. Of course, for demos one would actually use a notebook anyway, so it is probably not worth taking time on.
