The pyhton shell uses comint-mode (for input-output in shell-like modes). In
comint mode, previous commands are echoed via C-up and C-down.
But if you really prefer to have these with up/down arrows, you should set
comint-previous-command and comint-next-command to up/down.
Something (untested) like:
(define-key comint-mode-map [up] 'comint-previous-command)
(define-key comint-mode-map [down] 'comint-next-command)

should do the trick.
