Why mention sys.ps1 == '>>> ', is that some inside joke I'm unaware of? That is one of the easier things to modify (with a sitecustomize.py or whatever).

Built-in functions
------------------
Python is an object-oriented language, but it is not *purely*
object-oriented. Not everything needs to be `a method of some object < http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com.au/2006/03/execution-in- kingdom-of-nouns.html>`_,
and functions have their advantages. See the
`FAQ <https://docs.python.org/3/faq/design.html#why-does- python-use-methods-for-some-functionality-e-g-list-index- but-functions-for-other-e-g-len-list>`_
for more detail.
