Because a single statement can be multiple lines (as is the case for
compound statements).  Look at the grammar for a single input
statement
(interactive_input):
http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/toplevel_components.html#interactive-input.
 This issue is really about multiple statements
and not multiple lines.
