Message 123696 - Python tracker

for what it is worth, I am +1 on having completion and history file work by default.  The sqlite3 command line does this, for example.  I think it is what unix user expect nowadays, and I think it is reasonable.

Looking at my home directory, it would appear that the de-facto standard history file name would be .python_history.  This is based on .mysql_history, .psql_history, and .sqlite_history, none of which I configured explicitly to support history saving.
