I have a feeling that Eric's recent console work may have fixed this. Can you retest in git and/or give clear steps of how to reproduce the problem?
unfortunately it's quite a bit of work to cut out the relevant buggy portions of python, so you'd need to just install python 2.5.2 under wine (which does work!) and then fire up "wine python.exe" from an xterm ( making sure that it's fired up in a new command.com window )
what will happen is that the "python >>>" prompt will appear *ON THE XTERM OUTPUT*
when you run python under standard win32, what happens is that you simply do not see the "python >>>" prompt until you press return a couple of times.
this is a bug which has been fixed for python 2.6 and so it is the fact that it is a known bug in python 2.5 which is hitting a known bug in win32 _and_ wine that is causing the problem.
