Yes. If it isn’t working, please report an issue. There was a problem in b3 that the history was not preserved: [Python 3.13.0b3 REPL empties ~/.python\_history · Issue #121245 · python/cpython · GitHub](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/121245) – but it was fixed in b4.

For me, the history is preserved with the final release (Fedora build):

```python
