In my experience, the Win32 Python console lacks readline support
(like my stock Python on the Mac OS X machine I have here), and as
such lacks a lot of the niceties.  At least on Win32, there is
recall of previous commands (my Mac lacks even that), but there's no
easy "search for the previous command I typed that contains the
following keyword" (control-R followed by search term), no easy
"insert all matching filenames here" (alt+asterisk), etc.

Idle may not provide all that, but it hopefully provides at least
*some* basic features that the console python.exe lacks.
