Because it's easy to recognize as a prompt, I would guess. You can customize it by importing the 'sys' module and changing the values of sys.ps1 and sys.ps2. >>> import sys >>> sys.ps1 '>>> ' >>> sys.ps2 '... ' >>> def foo(): ... pass ... >>> sys.ps1 = 'EGGS ' EGGS sys.ps2 = 'BACON ' EGGS def foo(): BACON pass BACON EGGS -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
