An editable buffer for the Python shell (similar to '\e' on sql prompts)

[Steve]

Hi,
When working in the python command shell, I often end up writing more
than 10+ lines of indented code before making a stupid typo. This got
irritating enough for me to do something about it. So, here's an
'InteractiveConsole with an editable buffer'.

Just thought  some one else also would find this useful.
