Bash doesn't have a role in the Python REPL but Readline does. If you use
the technique outlined here:

https://medium.com/@oalejel/printing-command-history-within-the-python-interactive-terminal-repl-simplified-5fd202c64880

you can display lines from the REPL history and copy/paste them to have
them replayed.

Note that some Python shells work differently or may need to have Readline
enabled.
