That will depend on the interpreter. Which one are you using? > Is there a way to change this behavior, or perhaps an editor/environment > that feeds multiple lines more carefully to the interpreter? IDLE does what you say but IDLEX accepts multiple lines. The vanilla command line >>> accepts multiple lines (on Linux at least) PyCharm has multiple options for how it processes pasted lines/blocks. There are even IDEs that will evaluate/execute selected text without the need to paste. It all depends on the tool. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
