I would suggest to support PYTHONHISTFILE variable (similar to HISTFILE and LESSHISTFILE) and to not replace file pointed by this variable.

This shows that file is being currently replaced:
# cp /dev/null .python_history
# LC_ALL="C" stat -c "%F" .python_history
character special file
# python3.4 -q
>>> ^D
# LC_ALL="C" stat -c "%F" .python_history
regular empty file
