Bug report

Bug description:

As discussed in https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-13-0-beta-3-now-available/56847/7 and #120766 (comment)

When I updated from Python 3.13.0b2 to b3 and started the REPL for the first time, pressing arrow up showed the history.

Upon exiting and starting again, there is no more history when I press arrow up. I noticed it is also missing from my other Python REPLs. ~/.python_history is empty.

To reproduce, I did:

1. run python3.13
2. press arrow up, hit enter
3. Ctrl+D
4. run python3.13 again -- no history

CPython versions tested on:

3.13

Operating systems tested on:

Linux
