Yeah!

Try running :

import sys
sys.ps2 = '... '


Then try entering that 'if' statement.  You can probably search
through the IDLE sources (I would use 'grep' but if you are on windows
without cygwin, good luck) to find "sys.ps2" and fix the prompt.

Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord 
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.
