Other tools such as bash and less allow their history file to be customised with an environment variable. Will add a patch for this in a bit.

This could also be customised using PYTHONSTARTUP, but then the user has to duplicate a bunch of code which is already part of the site module.

This issue seems like a duplicate of bpo-29779 (which has a pull request).
