If Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V don't work, try shift-Ctrl-C & shift-Ctrl-V, or using the 
contextual menu with right-click. Anyway, in my view an interactive interpreter 
is annoying for anything but using python as a pocket calculator. If you feel 
like me, you may instead having a python trial file always open (as a tab) in 
your favorite editor, and do most all your trials there (instead of through the 
interpretor). This allow all doing editing, modifications, variants... you like. 
Much better in my view.
