When you build Python, make sure you build it with Gnu readline support. Then you can just fire up an interpreter, and use emacs (or, I suppose, vi) editing commands to scroll back through (and change) your input history. It's not as good as a real IDE, but it's still very handy for quick explorations. The next step up would be to run a real emacs, do M-X shell, then fire up a Python interpreter inside that. Or, go into split screen mode in emacs, editing your python source file in one window and running a shell in the other. Edit some code in the source window, and it takes about 6 keystrokes to save it, flip to the other window, and re-run the file (you can get it down to a single keystroke by defining a simple macro and binding it to a function key). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
