A Tk GUI for pip would need to frustratingly duplicate ~/.bash_history and up-arrow to get the previous command.<br>

No it wouldn't, as the user would not be directly issuing pip commands. In any case, it would be trivial to keep a list of the pip commands submitted behind the gui facade and even to have an optional window to display them.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Now that there's a ``pip freeze`` and a ``conda env export``, it seems like it's much easier to determine what one just did to their {system, --user, virtualenv, conda root, or condaenv} without having a list of commands to review (ala .bash_history) or filesystem diff's.

IDLE sucks.<br>

Why pollute your post with stupid flame bait? In many respects, IDLE's Shell is unequivocally better than interactive python in a line-oriented shell like Command Prompt. Ironically, given your comment above, one of its improvements is keeping a history of *statements* rather than a history of lines. This makes it possible to retrieve and edit a whole command (statement) at once, rather than in pieces (lines).</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Spyder is an IDE with a command prompt (shell window) and a python prompt (python window, ipython window).</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
