Do not walk, to http://www-hep.colorado.edu/~fperez/ipython/ for ipython, the interactive python shell. This is a python shell with lots of nice features over the default shell.
-- completion on variables and methods -- history saved between sessions -- searchable command line history like you get with bash/tcsh -- online help with a single keystroke, as in 'dict?' -- full access to the UNIX shell; eg you can do '!man ls' and the output is piped into less -- inline editing with your editor of choice for multiline commands, just type 'edit' -- 50+ page user's guide -- color Lots more stuff, customizable, macros, blah. blah. Non-linux users will need to check the install guide for prereqs.
