That's fine for two lines, but I can't change a whole script to work
that way :) The intepreter window in PythonWin just doesn't work
the same way as the conventional console-based one, it seems.

Fair enough, and I think that my main point is that the code can run
as-is, without needing any kind of setup. Pasting it direct into an
interpreter session is handy to check it runs, but it's not a must-have.
