Yes, that's because you had that URL in your clipboard, not Python code. What
were you expecting to happen?
I got that traceback as soon as I typed in "%paste" and
pressed enter, without pasting anything in the terminal.
I had assumed it works like :paste in Vim, activating a
kind of "paste mode" where everything pasted into the
terminal is modified as the help text suggests.
%cpaste will do that. I implemented %paste because not all terminals will
correctly paste arbitrary amounts of code correctly. Grabbing the text directly
from the clipboard is less error-prone and removes redundant user interaction.
