Hmm... this almost works.  However it now messes up the indentation on
the way into the python shell.

I.e.:

var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    print "test"
else:
    print "not boogie"

becomes:

var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    pass
    else:
    print "not boogie"
  File "<input>", line 3
    else:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    print "test"
    else:
    print "not boogie"
  File "<input>", line 3
    else:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Copy-n-paste from the shell is eliminating the ">>>" and "..." from
the output, but you know where they are.

Does anyone know if the shell can be made to not try to autoindent on
paste?
