How to navigate in second prompt in python

In a python shell I am defining a function. Now I made a mistake, and would like to jump up 4 lines to edit this statement: for i in range(N):

>>> def bisect(a,b,N):
...     for i in range(N):
...             num = f((a-b)/2.0)
...             if num == 0:
...                     print (a-b)/2.0
...             elif ()

How can I navigate up and down the shell to make modifications?

You can't. Use another Python shell like IPython, for example.

The Qt console for IPython (ipython qtconsole) or the IPython Notebook offer the feature you want. You can just navigate in the code using the arrow keys while writing it.
