A Tk GUI for pip would need to frustratingly duplicate ~/.bash_history and up-arrow to get the previous command.
No it wouldn't, as the user would not be directly issuing pip commands. In any case, it would be trivial to keep a list of the pip commands submitted behind the gui facade and even to have an optional window to display them.
IDLE sucks.
Why pollute your post with stupid flame bait? In many respects, IDLE's Shell is unequivocally better than interactive python in a line-oriented shell like Command Prompt. Ironically, given your comment above, one of its improvements is keeping a history of *statements* rather than a history of lines. This makes it possible to retrieve and edit a whole command (statement) at once, rather than in pieces (lines).
