I think the simplest way is using the InteractiveConsole class from the
'code' module. It shows a prompt, reads the commands you type and checks and
executes them. Doc here: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-code.html
This way the TCL part could be not necessary, though.

If you need some special functionality (e.g., storing the commands you
type), you can subclass it easily.
