As it happens, the Python REPL was just replaced a few months ago!

…Not with IPython. But with an implementation written in Python instead of C, originating from the PyPy project, that supports fancier features like multi-line editing and syntax highlighting. See PEP 762.

I was apprehensive when I heard about it, but then I had the chance to use it and it was a very nice experience.

Ooh, nice. I think recently the times I've used the latest version of python it's been with ipython, so I didn't notice. Going to check it out! It might be easier to make a custom repl now.
