Is there a way to save the current Python session? I would like to be able to save all my Python variables, functions, and imported libraries. If possible, having the history saved would be nice. I have looked all over Google and Stackoverflow for a simple command to do this, but have found nothing quite fitting what I want. Some suggested downloading new software, which I don’t want. Others had big scripts that they wrote to do this for them.
I’m looking for a no-nonsense easy to use command. Is there one? If not, how would you suggest to make one?
UPDATE: readline.write_history_file() and readline.read_history_file() save the history.
I think the closest thing you’re going to find is ipython. I’m not sure if it does the variable saving thing, but I believe it does everything else you’re asking for.
