run python script from command line and then enter interactive mode

Is there a way to run a python module from command line ( -m option, which imports and runs a module ), and then enter the interactive mode?

I need something similar to "cmd /k command".

I tested the -i option, but it didn't work; I'm not sure but it seems just redirects in_stream from input.

You need to put the -i before the -m.

The -m option is an interface option; it terminates the option list and all subsequent arguments will end up in sys.argv for the module's main function. (link to doc)

Or go into interactive mode and run your python file:

import <filename>

You can use bpython in the following way:

bpython -i <filename>

which will load the module and get into interactive mode
