Alternatively, PS2 could be four spaces (or do you all prefer the dots?) and indents could be four spaces. It seems that cut/paste would work if the reindent first magically replaced '^>>> ' (and '^...') with ''. Michael Hudson replies: Is it possible to have copy/paste see the text w/o prompts? I agree. After all, I often paste my code into someplace OTHER than IDLE.

But it makes a difference where you're pasting it: in an editor window (where you don't want the >>>) or in an email message (where you probably do want the >>>).
