Take a look at the source code of the code module (file code.py in the
lib directory). The push() method of the InteractiveConsole class
shows how to handle multi-line statements.
Basically, keep collecting lines as long as the result returned by the
runsource() call is true. Maybe instead of calling the runsource()
method, just call the push() method.
