save state of qtconsole

[timmie]

htmlnotebook has this neat feature that the status of the norebook can be saved to *.ipynb

Could this be added to qtconsole as well, know that the application is not a webpage?

I am thinking like "hibernating" a console sesssion.

It doesn't really make as much sense with a console-like interface. In the notebook, if you make a mistake, you go back and correct it, so you end up with just the code that's worked. If you make a mistake in a console, you try the code again, so the session includes all the code you've entered, whether or not it worked.

There's a few things it can do: you can export the Qt console session as HTML, you can use %save to make a Python file from it, or %notebook to make a .ipynb file. We're also considering a way to save and restore the namespace you're working in (see #1035 and #112).

Thanks for assisting.
OK closing here, then.
