In python I can spawn a process to run python byte code that will produce a file with results. Easy to avoid a lot import A,B,C,D...... on the top level.

	Ah, so THAT is what the "number of buffers" control in "Command
Prompt Properties/Options" is meant for...

This isn't true, at least not for ActivePython 2.7.2.5 under Windows
7-64. The second session has no history whatsoever.

Well I don't know what to say. It works for me with an almost
identical setup. (ActivePython 2.7.1.4 Win7 x64). And has worked
for me over countless setups on different machines / versions of
Windows / versions of Python etc.

Do you have the pyreadline module installed? ISTR that that takes
over from the standard cmd processing...

I'm pretty sure I do.

It's really not an issue, though, as I tend to stick to linux &
iPython where possible :)

Something that might be of interest is wxPython's pyslicesshell.py
it's not commandline in console window but the interpreter in a
window. And you can save it.

I haven't used it lately by there's also PythonWin
