I have some lines of python code that I'm continuously copying/pasting into the python console. Is there a load command or something I can run? e.g. load file.py

python read-eval-print-loop

From the man page:

-i When a script is passed as first argument or the -c option is used, enter interactive mode after executing the script or the command. It does not read the $PYTHONSTARTUP file. This can be useful to inspect global variables or a stack trace when a script raises an exception.

So this should do what you want:

python -i file.py
