One alternative enhanced interactive interpreter that has been around for quite
some time is `IPython`_, which features tab completion, object exploration and
some time is IPython_, which features tab completion, object exploration and
advanced history management. It can also be thoroughly customized and embedded
into other applications. Another similar enhanced interactive environment is

The Customization Modules
-------------------------
Python provides two hooks to let you customize it: :mod:`sitecustomize` and
:mod:`usercustomize`. To see how it works, you need first to find the location
of your user site-packages directory. Start Python and run this code:
>>> import site
>>> site.getusersitepackages()
'/home/user/.local/lib/python3.2/site-packages'
Now you can create a file named :file:`usercustomize.py` in that directory and
put anything you want in it. It will affect every invocation of Python, unless
it is started with the :option:`-s` option to disable the automatic import.
:mod:`sitecustomize` works in the same way, but is typically created by an
administrator of the computer in the global site-packages directory, and is
imported before :mod:`usercustomize`. See the documentation of the :mod:`site`
module for more details.
