saving interpreter source?

[Garett]

Hello, I would like to be able to save source typed into the interpreter
to a file. Kind of like marshal, but I would like to have the file contain
the source so I can edit it later. Something like inspect.getsource() but
for source typed into the interpreter, not imported from a module. Is this
possible? Any ideas are greatly appreciated. -Garett

Last time I used it, Chris Gonnerman's readline replacement kept a
history by default:

Also, take a look at the following. It tells you how to configure
your interactive sessions so that both (1) interactive history
will be saved to a file and (2) that history will be available in
subsequent interactive sessions.

Skip has once written something like that:

It won't work on Windows, however.

Look into IPython. It's "An enhanced Interactive Python shell", and
includes a "save" command, where you can even specify which lines you
want saved. http://ipython.scipy.org/
