Why not?  Python gets its input by reading from stdin.  As soon as it reads
from stdin, the process is under the control of Windows.  As far as I know,
the original poster is correct: doskey maintains this history
automatically.

It is on the Linux-like systems, but I didn't think gnu readline was part
of Python on Windows.

Plus, it doesn't answer the original question "where is the history
stored"?
