I agree with that estimate, I think it was really the idea of Python to be less than "good" by design.

I mean one doesn't need more than:

    >>> exit
    Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit

to see. They have that special handling, but they still don't want to let you out, because... IMO, they just want to be annoying.

When a solution could be something like:

    Note: exit() is needed in scripts. In this prompt Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) can also be used.
    Exiting.
