You might want to check out iPython in notebook mode. I've only played with
it briefly, but it looks promising for interactive analysis, and cases
where you'd like to present the transcript to others.
'Regular' commandline iPython will also allow you to save the history with
the %save command.
See: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/htmlnotebook.html
To get an idea of how it works, see Titus Brown's demonstration:
