I just briefly reviewed the README docs, I believe the KlongPy is a custom language which transpiles to Python. The REPL block you are trying to interpret is the KlongPy REPL not a Python one.
Embedding KlongPy in a Python block would look more like this (also from the docs):
from klongpy import KlongInterpreter
import numpy as np
data = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
klong = KlongInterpreter()
# make the data NumPy array available to KlongPy code by passing it into the interpreter
# we are creating a symbol in KlongPy called 'data' and assigning the external NumPy array value
klong['data'] = data
# define the average function in KlongPY
klong('avg::{(+/x)%#x}')
# call the average function with the external data and return the result.
r = klong('avg(data)')
print(r) # expected value: 3
Note the calls to "klong('<some-str-of-klong-syntax')".
