Agreed, but I think the setting of prompts is a "different execution environment" case. It's a fundamental difference between batch mode and interactive, and Idle uses batch mode to implement interactive mode. So something like: >>> sys.ps1="Python> " "Setting sys.ps1 has no effect in Idle; see the Options menu." >>> It might not be possible, but if it is, it wouldn't break any actual viable use-cases.
