Python version banner

[al...@permabit.com]

One of the things I like about the normal Python REPL and iPython as well is that it displays the version banner when first started. Could we have a configuration option to do this?

I agree this would be useful. Should it be transient and go away after a few seconds or be real history? (I prefer the latter) Any thoughts on the exact text to use?

This seems like it should be turned on by default, and maybe have an option to turn it off. Does anyone not like this banner idea?

Any kind of banner. 

The text could be at least « Python version : major.minor.micro » 

maybe followed by Python binary path

I agree too - let's leave it in as real history unless somebody objects.
