Is there any way to automatically create a transcript of an interactive Python session?

[Jonathan Mark]

Some languages, such as Scheme, permit you to make a transcript of an
interactive console session. Is there a way to do that in Python?

I don't know of any way *inside* of python, but it's easy enough to run
your interactive python session inside of something like "script", an emacs
shell buffer, etc.

Maybe IPython's logging feature is what you want?

If you decide not to use IPython for some reason, you should be able to
easily whip something up based on the command history features of the
readline module or one of the interpreter classes in the code module.
