sounds like you want raw_input:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html

    raw_input([prompt])
    ...
  If the readline module was loaded, then raw_input() will use
  it to provide elaborate line editing and history features.
(but if this doesn't work for you by default, chances are that
your Python install doesn't support readline)
