You don't need to press "run" to execute things interactively.
You use "run" only to execute python code which is in a file.

Sadly, PythonWin (and most other interactive interpreters) can't
handle pasting more than one line at one time. :( As you see, you
don't get the secondary prompts "...".

IPython and psi handles this correctly. Actually, IPython even
allows you to paste code with >>> or ... in the start of the
lines. (But doesn't work well in Windows IIRC.)

To paste code in PythonWin, open a script window, paste the code
there, save and run with F5.
