Maybe my impression has been false this whole time, but the Python interactive 
interpreter seems to be very similar to the IDLE shell window. My question is, 
"Why not make them even more so?" Having IDLE react to sys.ps1 and sys.ps2 
opens up the shell to similar use cases as having them defined in the 
interactive interpreter. My suggestion is not to have them added as text as is 
usual in a terminal window but to print the values of ps1 and ps2 in the 
proposed ShellIO subclass. That would make label customization possible in a 
way that is already documented and standard.
