Of course it is, I'm running a customer history hook that has a limit of 500
lines in the history file.
It looks to me that by default the history feature is set to unlimited lines,
so I guess that implies that this isn't a bug and it is your responsibility to
set a maximum history length.
You can put these two lines in your Python startup file:
import readline
readline.set_history_length(1000) # or any number you like
Personally, I don't think that having a default setting that allows the history
file to grow to 130MB is a good idea.
