The doc says “a single interactive statement”. Because a single statement can be multiple lines (as is the case for compound statements). Look at the grammar for a single input statement (interactive_input): http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/toplevel_components.html#interactive-input. This issue is really about multiple statements and not multiple lines.

Because a single statement can be multiple lines (as is the case for
compound statements).  Look at the grammar for a single input
statement
(interactive_input):
