Oh, that kind of multi-line input. I thought you were talking about
>>> def foo(bar):
...        long_statement_here
...        even_longer_statement_here
...        return something

I would just put it into a .py and run it through IDLE, change it, and
rerun it. There are probably other IDEs which can already do that, but
I just use IDLE.
