>Summary: PyShell strange "else" indentation

Initial Comment:
An else clause entered directly at the PyShell 
prompt looks like:

>>> if 1:
        print 1
else:
        print 2

If I try and line up the "else" and "if" I 
get an IndentationError.

OK once you know about it, but confusing for novices.

I believe this was debated at length and judged to be
correct behaviour in python idle, thus in idlefork also.
