While Bob's suggestion of "cliff" sounds interesting, Python also 
offers the "cmd" module[1] in the standard library which does most 
of what I've needed in the past.  If you've got the readline library 
available, it also supports autocompletion and command-line history 
which is a nice bonus.

Docs should be about the same
