The code for the interactive window is in pywin32\framework\interact.py 
- eg:

 >>> from pywin.framework import interact
 >>> interact.IsInteractiveWindowVisible()
True
 >>>

If it is visible, then something like:

 >>> len(interact.edit.currentView.GetWindowText())
189
 >>>

should get you on the right path.

Something like:

interact.edit.currentView.GetWindowText('line1\nline2\nline3')

should work - the first few lines will always be formatted using blue 
text, and the above works a little strangely when attempting it directly 
from the interactive prompt, but might still be useful.  See the source 
file I mentioned above for more clues.

HTH,
