8.3 Interactive input

Input in interactive mode is parsed using the following grammar:

interactive_input ::= [stmt_list] NEWLINE | compound_stmt NEWLINE
Download entire grammar as text.

Note that a (top-level) compound statement must be followed by a blank line in interactive mode; this is needed to help the parser detect the end of the input.
