Saving history in interactive Python

[Bruce Edge]

set /home/<logname>/.python, then here's what I stuck in my ~/.python
file


histfile="/home/<logname>/.python
import rlcompleter
import readline
readline.parse_and_bind("M-?: complete")
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: menu-complete")
import os
import sys
readline.read_history_file( histfile )
def savehist():
	global histfile
	readline.write_history_file( histfile )
import atexit
atexit.register( savehist )	


This gets you command history saving, and readline command line editing.

-Bruce.
