[Chicago] Anaconda vs. IDLE.

[Lewit, Douglas]

ipython qtconsole?  Thanks Peter.  I'll try it.  Thanks so much!  Python by
itself is really cool, but I also think the language is greatly
strengthened by the various IDE's and third-party libraries that help
support the language.  They are definitely big bonuses for the language.
