I don't know what %edit does, but if I guess that it has something to do with an editor, I use this in my dotfiles:

which is perfectly REPL agnostic.

I prefer bpython over iPython for a bunch of reasons that I can't easily elaborate on from here on my mobile, but is definitely suggest people try them both out.

That's pretty nifty - thanks.

EDIT: Also, I have used bpython, but since I use python more on the data side as opposed to web (or something not data) IPython along with everything else make it too good to not use.

Yeah. That's where ipython probably hits the sweet spot, so that's reasonable.
