ctrl-w deletes words with punctuation instead of whitespace boundary

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 deletes words using punctuation as the boundary.

CPython versions tested on:

3.14

Operating systems tested on:

macOS
