That sounds like ipython <http://ipython.scipy.org/>.

I also have a CLI framework as part of pyNMS
<http://www.dartworks.biz/pynms>. However, this framework implements a
CLI that you cannot evaluate Python directly but is used to implement
Cisco/Posix-like CLI for other projects. On  the other hand, you can
enter "Python mode" with it. I also use it for the pyNMS enhanced debugger.
