I'm not sure I understand what you want. Do you mean you want to use the 
interactive interpreter, and every time you enter a line, that line gets 
saved in a log file?

That's normally called "history", and Python 3.5 will have history 
automatically turned on. If you hit the UP or DOWN arrows, the prompt 
will go through the history, showing each line. Is that what you mean?

Otherwise, perhaps you could look at sys.__interactivehook__ and 
sys.__displayhook__. I'm not sure how advanced you are with Python 
programming, so if you need more help, please ask.
