Hmmm, did you want useful answers or snarky ones?
Some googling leads to:

Personally I'd tell them repeatedly how useful interactive python (the
REPL) is. It's a huge time saver when you're trying to figure out how
to get pretty much anything done. Make sure to tell them about ipython
-- the tab completion is a monumental improvement in utility.
