You may also want to have a look at a little app I wrote called "Lightning
Compiler".  It includes a standard Python interpreter but also a Python
aware editor in  which you can enter code, click a button (or use a keyboard
shortcut) and see the output in a separate window pane. With the editor, you
can also run doctests - which is a good tool to check students
understanding.
It can be found under lightning here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=125834
It requires wxPython though...
