Hi,

I am using python -i, and I find it hard typing/pasting the commands
from the previous interactive shell. Basically, is there anyway that
I can preserve the history in the shell?
I guess but not sure there should be something like ~/.pyrc for
configuring such but can someone please let me know what is the
effective environment variable to preserve the history?

Thanks,
Nikhil
I figured it out. This below thing works fine for me.
BTW, I got it from http://docs.python.org/tut/node15.html. A little
search would not hurt ;-)

Or you could use IPython (http://ipython.scipy.org/), "an Enhanced
Python Shell".
