Backspace kills line

I've tried using bpython inside a screen session running in a PuTTY terminal and for pressing backspace (^H) discards the entire line and shows a prompt for new one in this case. Using Ctrl-Backspace does work as Backspace is supposed to but is rather inconvenient.

Here is all the relevant information I could think of, please let me know if you need anything else:
