    Python equivalent of script(1)

    Is there anything like script(1) for python interactive sessions. From
    script(1) manpage:

    Script makes a typescript of everything printed on your terminal.
    It is useful for students who need a hardcopy record of an
    interactive session as proof of an assignment, as the typescript
    file can be printed out later with lpr(1).

    If the argument file is given, script saves all dialogue in file.
    If no file name is given, the typescript is saved in the file
    typescript.

    In my case I wouldn't like to use it as a proof of anything, but I want
    to get a script accessing a library system in my school -- it means
    many attempts to play with urllib. I would prefer to do it in an
    interactive session, but then I would love to have a record of all what
    I've done, so I can edit this record into final script.
    Thanks for any hint,

    Matej Cepl

      You can save the current input history with
      [color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
      >>> import readline
      >>> readline.write_ history_file("p ython.log")[/color][/color][/color]

      If you want to log your whole session, including output, try using the
      'screen' utility.

              $ script transcript.txt
              Script started, file is transcript.txt
              $ python
              ...

              Not sure if there's a way to shut off readline...

                  Emacs will do that for you, either in a shell (command shell) or in a
                  Python shell. Edit a python file, and type C-C ! and it'll start an
                  interactive python in a buffer that will save all the output.

                  Of course, you can also run your python after running script. That
                  will log everything from the python session in the script file.
