Uh...how come _I_ don't see that?

In IDLE, I get:

Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32

IDLE 1.2
>>> as = 1
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


When inside a script, I get:

as = 1
print as
>>> ====================== RESTART ======================
>>>
1

Is there something wrong with my (and Sympy's) version
of Python that we don't see these warnings?
