There seems to be a C global variable "Py_InteractiveFlag", which
could probably be got at with a C extension; so if you're writing one
of those anyway, this shouldn't be too much of a stretch.  If you're
not, dunno, sorry.

well, take it from an old hand: the only reason it would be easier
to program in C is that you can't easily express complex  problems
in C, so you don't.                 -- Erik Naggum, comp.lang.lisp
