I knew that, honest I did... umm, let's just pretend I was talking
about changing sys.ps2 in the console interpreter. Yeah. Because I
totally knew that changing it in Idle wouldn't work. Plus, I tested it
before posting, like everyone should. Honest!

Changing it in the console interpreter does work, though.

Python 3.5.0a0 (default:301b9a58021c, Oct  2 2014, 09:20:24)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.ps2="    "
>>> def x():
        pass

And if you want consistency, that's a good way to get it.
