A change limited to the interactive interpreter would be meaningless for
everyone who works at a simulated prompt in a gui program running on
non-interactive python, or running user code under supervision in
non-interactive python. This includes both modes of Idle (default and
-n). I presume this includes nearly any other alternative to the
console interpreter.
On Windows, the actual Command Prompt interactive interpreter is a
wretched environment. I only use it to start Idle on repository builds
and to check whether Idle does the same thing as the console
interpreter. I suspect that many users on Windows never see the console
interpreter, just as they many never see a command prompt command line.
