How do I tell if I'm running in the PyWin interpreter?

That's exactly how I use it everywhere else.  Type until you're done
then hit <Ctrl-D>

The problem is only when running under the PyWin IDE . . I'd been using
this for months under Idle and every place else I needed it.

The problem is that PyWin doesn't give you a raw command line with in
response to raw_input, but gives you a text entry box and a nice
OK-Cancel yada yada interface that silently eats my EOF.

I'd like to have a single tool I can use everywhere.  So far as I can
tell, that means I have to detect the PyWin IDE and handle it
separately on initialization so I get a real raw input and not the
redefined Tkinter version.
