This is something where you'd really want to be able to select which you prefer and toggle back and forth. I usually want a whole block, but sometimes I want to construct a new block from pieces of previous blocks. > I've never used IDLE.

No; it retrieves the whole multi-line block and inserts is at the prompt, allowing you to edit any part of it before type <Return> to execute. It's better than the bash behavior because it doesn't replace the actual newlines with semicolon separators (which wouldn't be sufficient for arbitrary Python code anyway). -Fred -- Fred L.
