Bug Description
Passages of may be wrongly be interpreted as Python because they start with '>>> '. The function does not check that next and previous lines of text consistently uses '>>> ' as Python would.
The function could examine the context or a line, or process paragraphs the whole paragraph with a multiline regexp, but that would be slower than the current approach.

Python also uses '... ' as well as '>>> ' in the interactive interpreter output.
