It's not a bug, it's a design choice you are disagreeing with: managing indentation is your job, not the interpreter's. For anything other than an absolutely trivial three-line script, I write in an editor that does a good job helping me manage indentation (in my case, emacs in Python mode).
The Python interactive interpreter is very useful for doing quick experiments in, but for any kind of serious work, you definitiely want an editor with an understanding of Python syntax to help you out. Even the included IDLE development environment will auto-indent for you. So will vim, emacs, Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, Eric, Atom, Wing IDE and a host of others. No need to get frustrated!!!

I'm new to Python and was excited about learning it but am becoming very frustrated over a bug in such a simple conditional statement - please help as I would really like to master Python.
