Bug report

Bug description:

I am used to ctrl-w deleting entire words, using whitespace as the boundary. Based on https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.14/Lib/_pyrepl/reader.py#L81, I think the Python REPL is supposed to do that?

However, ctrl-w currently deletes words using punctuation+whitespace as the boundary.
