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?
