The user should only be able to enter text in the last line. If this is not 
the case, it is a bug. I'll look into it.

That is strange. They work over here. Maybe you can send more details (e.g. 
some examples of keys, what you expected to happen and what happened 
instead).

I tried to integrate it but the pyconsole failed misserably. I posted a bug 
report on their mailing list, but nothing had happened (even no answer was 
sent). Therefore I dropped the plan and forgot about it in the meantime.

That is configurable on a per prolect basis (project menu -> Filetype 
Associations).
