Native Windows doesn't have pseudo-ttys.  The python interpreter sees
that it is running in a pipe, and thinks that this is non-interactive
environment, instead of an interactive terminal.  You could try to
force the python interpreter into interactive mode in some other way
(command option, configuration item).

Also, Cygwin Emacs would probably fix that problem, because Cygwin can
simulate pseudo-ttys between Cygwin applications.
