Автодополнение и история в python интерпретаторе
Сохранять в ~/.pystartup и не забыть сделать export PYTHONSTARTUP=~/.pystartup в баше

# Add auto-completion and a stored history file of commands to your Python
# interactive interpreter. Requires Python 2.0+, readline. Autocomplete is
# bound to the Esc key by default (you can change it - see readline docs).
#
# Store the file in ~/.pystartup, and set an environment variable to point
# to it:  "export PYTHONSTARTUP=~/.pystartup" in bash.
