Thanks.

Be aware that referring to "the shell" without further qualification
is usually understood to mean "the operating system shell", i.e. the
command shell provided for running operating system commands.

So, you're asking about the difference in behaviour between "the
Windows command shell" versus "the Python interactive shell".
