I'm creating a command line interface to a product.
I want to have access to python as a scripting tool, and be able to
access my own commands.
Ideally, this could be used by the end user. So, I'd like to not require
the my_func(args) syntax,
as that may look a bit kludgey/unfinished from a users standpoint. I'd
like to be able to use "my_command args" from the python cmd line.
Everything else I need is already there, readline line editing,
customizable tab-completer, python language support. 

My expertise is in Tcl, where this is trivial. I'm trying out python as
there are others here that already use it, and it's well, somewhat
syntactically cleaner.
