I believe that the following taken from my python startup file
may do what you want.

histfile="%s/.python-history" % os.environ["HOME"]
readline.read_init_file('~/.inputrc')
readline.read_history_file(histfile)

def savehist():   
    global histfile
	readline.write_history_file(histfile)
	
atexit.register(savehist)
