statements. At the interactive prompt, you have to type a tab or space(s) for
each indented line. In practice you will prepare more complicated input
for Python with a text editor; all decent text editors have an auto-indent
facility. When a compound statement is entered interactively, it must be
statements. At the interactive prompt, the default REPL automatically
indents continuation lines after compound statement headers like ``if`` or
``while``. In the basic REPL (invoked with :envvar:`PYTHON_BASIC_REPL`)

input for Python with a text editor; all decent text editors have an
