You should really install something like ipython or bpython

pip install ipython

This will give you a much better python interpreter that offers code completion, history and other magical functions that will make your python experience much better!

Try using ipython which amoungst other things adds a shell which includes code completion to the intepreter.

Yes! Take a look at bpython!

You should be able to install it with pip. I actually have it in my Linux distro as a package.
