   SciTE's interactive output window isn't all that interactive as, for
example, the backspace key is interpreted within the window and not sent
through to the running program. While there will probably be an option to
change this particular behaviour, SciTE will never become as good at being
an interactive Python shell as one of the tools designed for this job such
as PyCrust or IPython.
