Developers use the interactive console for exploring, not developing.

Use it to test, to confirm a suspicion about what a function call might
do, to write code you know you will not run more than once.

Any code you suspect might persist – and if you don't know, expect that
it might persist – you should be writing in a module file and running as
a program.

The time machine has brought you the solution: a text editor and the
Python non-interactive session :-)

I am reminded of a (very strange) guy I went to school with.  He linked 
/dev/tty to /dev/tty.c.  That allowed him to run "cc /dev/tty.c" and 
type in the text of a C program to compile.
