Does your terminal make funny characters when you press the arrow keys instead of retrieving the last command?
You can fix that a couple quick installs.
pip install ipython
# may require you to 'yum install ncurses ncurses-devel' or similar, depending on your os
pip install readline
Now access the shell substituting the command 'python' with 'ipython'. It should behave nicer.
IPython can do a lot more for you than give you a pretty shell. Check out its capabilities at the project website.
