Multiline string variables in interactive python environement

[insightfulquery]

Type: Bug

Looking at the following code. If you highlight the variable assignent for my_string, lines 3-6 of the code, and press shift enter to run in the interactive environment, you will get a series of errors as it processes each line of text as different python command. The desired behavior is that the interactive environment would recognize the triple quotes and include the following lines in a single python command. The desired behavior is achieved with the following work-around. If you un-indent line 3, then highlight the text and execute it then it will work successfully. That workaround is not consistent with how other things are being treated, however. If you highlight and run line 2 it executes just fine, even when it is indented. Also, I don't want to have to unindent something so that it will run while I'm developing and then go back and re-indent them all again so I can test. Feel free to reach out for clarifications or a better example.

Python:

for i in range(10):
    my_int = 42
    my_string = """
        Multi-
        Line
        String""""
