It seems like bpython is already saving a history of everything I type (so that it can be printed on exit); it would be really nifty if 'inspect.getsource' could show me the source of a function so that I could save things out individually.

Along these lines, I already patch inspect.getsource to get the source of Python builtin functions via https://github.com/punchagan/cinspect in my python startup file. If we're going to use a modified inspect.getsource, might also be cool to check to see if this is installed and use it as well.

I just looked briefly but I don't understand how IPython is doing this.

I think we should do this by making our own versions of a few of the methods in inspect.py (the standard library module) so we can pass our history to them.

Looks like ipython does this by compiling functions with unique filenames for each prompt.
