            Usage:

            Arguments:
                COMMAND   the command to be executed

            Description:

                The command without a parameter will be executed and the
                interactive python mode is entered. The python mode can be
                ended with ``Ctrl-D`` (Unix) / ``Ctrl-Z`` (Windows),
                ``quit()``,'`exit()``. Non-python commands can be issued with
                ``cmd("your command")``.  If the python code is located in an
                external file it can be run with ``run("filename.py")``.

                In case a COMMAND is provided it will be executed and the
                python interpreter will return to the command shell.

                This code is copied from Cmd2.
