How do I get a Python REPL in Eshell on M$ Windows? |

Hi list,
I have many students who sort of "want to learn GNU/Linux when they
grow up", but usually they take years between the "want to" stage and
the stage in which they have some kind of GNU/Linux installed in their
machines - either in a VM or in a partition - and several more years
between that stage and the stage in which they become minimally
proficient with a shell...
I'm trying to change that. The details are not important to my
question, but here is a link to them, for the sake of completeness:

Anyway, here is my question.
When my students try to run Python in a buffer created with M-x shell
or M-x eshell they don't get an interactive REPL - they get something
that _looks like_ a REPL that is stuck because of bad terminal
settings. In Lua we were able to fix that by running "lua52.exe -i"
instead of just "lua52.exe"... anyone knows how to do something
similar for Python?
Here is what one student got in his *eshell* buffer:
Welcome to the Emacs shell
~ $ ~/eev-wconfig/lua52.exe -i
Lua 5.2.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2015 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> print(2+3)
5
> os.exit()
~ $
~ $ py
print(2+3)
print(2+3)
He sent me a photo of what he got when he ran "py" in a "normal"
terminal running PowerShell. It was something like this:
Windows PowerShell

PS C:\Users\ferob> py
Python 3.10.4 [etc etc etc]
>>> print(2+3)
5
>>>
Thanks in advance!
