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

The two replies in 2005 mentioned both raw_input and the cmd module (in
case that's what he was implying).  They were posted within 90 minutes
of the original.

I assume that cliff is much more recent, and Bob wanted to update the
thread after 7 years.

Ah.  2005 would explain why my newsreader has purged them as ancient 
history :)  Thanks for the clarification.
