On bash or Window's Command Prompt, we can press the up arrow on keyboard to get the last command, and edit it, and press ENTER again to see the result.
But in Python's IDLE 2.6.5 or 3.1.2, it seems if our statement prints out 25 lines, we need to press the up arrow 25 times to that last command, and press ENTER for it to be copied?
Or use the mouse to pinpoint that line and click there, and press ENTER to copy? Is there a faster way?
The History Log is stored in the . spyder-py3 (Python 3) or spyder (Python 2) directory in your user home folder (by default, C:/Users/username on Windows, /Users/username for macOS, and typically /home/username on GNU/Linux).
The usual keys: Up, Ctrl+Up, Alt-p don't work. They produce nonsensical characters. Up arrow works correctly for me (Ubuntu), it's weird. Ditto, up arrow works for me on Windows.

action, which is bound to Alt+P by default.Incidentally, why don't you try a better (less ugly, for starters) shell like bpython or ipython?
