    For some reason, I don't know why, you must specifically press 'tab' in
the windows
command prompt when you are doing a compound statement like that. IDLE and
PythonWin automatically put a tab in there; the prompt does not.

So, just press <tab>print i in the windows prompt to make it work.

I think :)
