[issue37892] IDLE Shell: isolate user code input

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: PR 25678 merged on top of the sidebar patch results in using space indents with the sidebar. An additional patch is needed to have the mode with '>>>' on a line by itself instead of having a sidebar. The shell prompt_last_line attribute is now obsolete (it
