I highly recommend you have a look into ipython. It is a breeze to work
with. I usually have a couple of terminal screens open, one with the
ipython interpreter, which helps me a lot when testing code snipplets.
You can install it using yumex, or just run 'yum install ipython' from
the root command line.
If you just started with Fedora, go into this site and follow the tips
provided. It really improves your working environment. It will also
provide you with extra repositories which allow you the installation of
ipython among other packages.
