In a few days I'll announce IPython, a project I'm working on which is a 
replacement for the interactive prompt with a ton of enhancements. This is 
one of the features it supports (it may not be perfect, but seems to work for 
me). Something like IDLE could (if it wanted to) use IPython for its prompts.
