I don't know whether that is possible, but you could recreate the repl.
This page seems to have good resources for that:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1395913/python-drop-into-repl-read-eval-print-loop

A trace function could also work. See docs for sys.settrace. The source
code for the python GOTO module is a good example of its usage.
