Because it's easy to recognize as a prompt, I would guess. You can
customize it by importing the 'sys' module and changing the values of
sys.ps1 and sys.ps2.

>>> import sys
>>> sys.ps1
'>>> '
>>> sys.ps2
'... '
>>> def foo():
...     pass
...
>>> sys.ps1 = 'EGGS '
EGGS sys.ps2 = 'BACON '
EGGS def foo():
BACON     pass
BACON
EGGS
