Thats interpreter, not interrupter. It interprets your commands.

I've read on Python.Org's site in a tutorial section that some interrupters

The easiest way for you to get that is to use IDLE, the development tool for Python. There should be a menu entry on your OS to launch
IDLE (sometimes called 'Python GUI').

The IDLE interactive shell allows you to use cut n paste, as well as keys such as Alt-UP/DOWN to cycle through history etc.

You can get most of these features in the Windows CMD.exe too but you need to set some registry entries. Typing HELP CMD at the OS prompt brings up a long page describing the features you can choose to
turn on and how.
