That will depend on the interpreter. Which one are you using?

IDLE does what you say but IDLEX accepts multiple lines.

The vanilla command line >>> accepts multiple lines (on Linux at least)

PyCharm has multiple options for how it processes pasted lines/blocks.

There are even IDEs that will evaluate/execute selected text
without the need to paste.

It all depends on the tool.
