I thought it was easy to get the actual repl... but it isn't. There
is a C function for it, but not a Python method.
However, there's a very good simulacrum:
py import code
py code.InteractiveConsole().interact()
Send EOF to exit.
I don't know if it has completion or automatic indentation, because no
version of Python I have installed does either :-) Is this new?
