Ha, got it:  sys.settrace

 >>> def traceit(frame, event, arg):
...     return traceit

 >>> sys.settrace(traceit)

 >>> a=1
(<frame object at 0x7ff9016785c0>, 'call', None)
(<frame object at 0x7ff9016785c0>, 'line', None)
(<frame object at 0x7ff9016785c0>, 'return', (u'a=1\n', 4))
(<frame object at 0x7ff90168a1f8>, 'call', None)
(<frame object at 0x7ff90168a1f8>, 'line', None)
(<frame object at 0x7ff90168a1f8>, 'return', None)


There you got the source. The use an AST to find out whether the line 
fits your definition of 'interactive'.

That should only be necessary when the top frame is interactive.


Best,
