there should be syntax hilight when you look at the source by using `??` like 
In[1]: object ??
… (source syntax hilight)

but it might need the "pygments" library.

As for the cod you are typing, no it is not syntax hilighted, and it is not possible because we 
use deadline to get  user input.

Though bpython [1] use curses which allow syntax hilight, 
and bipython [2] is a new project that use the best of both world if you are adventurous.
