[issue11395] print(s) fails on Windows with long strings

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

print("a"*66000)

works (after some delay) running from an IDLE edit window (but see #144249). Works means that I get a working prompt back with no errors.

Unlike IDLE, the Command Prompt Windows keeps a limited number of lines in its buffers (default: 4x50), and may have a total size limit.
