What's the proper way to call the interpreter instance for a multiline
example like this?
Thanks in advance,

I haven't worked with the code module before, but here is my go at it. 
It seems that the call to runsource() needs the entire multiline code at 
once, with newlines including a trailing newline:

    >>> import code
    >>> a = code.InteractiveInterpreter()
    >>> a.runsource('def q():\n    print "hi, a"\n')
    False
    >>> a.runsource('q()')
    hi, a
    False
With the InteractiveConsole, you can push each line of code 
individually, like so:

    >>> import code
    >>> b = code.InteractiveConsole()
    >>> b.push('def q():')
    True
    >>> b.push('    print "hi, b"')
    True
    >>> b.push('')
    False
    >>> b.runsource('q()')
    hi, b
    False
HTH,
Jim
