Inconsistent behavior when using ellipsis (...) versus pass in function/class definition #979

Notice it takes one more <enter> press to get the >>> prompt back when using ... in a function or class body, compared to using pass. On the "extra" line with the three-dots prompt, the cursor is not auto-indented, either. I've added underscores to show where the cursor appears on each line.

bpython version 0.23 on top of Python 3.11.1 /Users/eric/.pyenv/versions/3.11.1/bin/python3.11
>>> def foo():
...     ...
...     _
... _
>>> def bar():
...     pass
...     _
>>> class Foo():
...     ...
...     _
... _
>>> class Bar():
...     pass
...     _
>>>

For reference, the standard python console:
