emacs shell hangs on W32 with python

I started emacs with -q did ESC-x shell and entered the following

>>> import Tkinter

>>> t = Tkinter.Tk()

>>> 2

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Note that after the call to Tkinter.Tk() my python window freezes and

no longer works. Killing the Tk window does not help. I realize that

this may seem like a bug in python and not emacs except that if I do

exactly the same thing through a dos shell I have no problems (i.e.,

python keeps accepting input). Consequently, it seems like emacs is

doing something funky when running the shell that interferes with

python in a way that running the shell without emacs would not do.
