Emacs is the coolest tech editor out there, by far; however, the very 
nature of Emacs (which makes it the coolest) is also unfortunately the 
very thing that sucks about it... highly configurable (&extensible), 
highly complex, intricately complicated; especially for novices.

The OP is looking for an "IDE-like" interactive environment, because he 
is "uncomfortable" with IDLE.  IDLE is THE choice, however ---precisely 
because IDLE is clean, elegant, and most importantly "simple". It is 
simple to understand, and it is even simpler to use effectively... even 
for novice pythonics. IDLE is straight-forward.

As Terry pointed out, IDLE is very useful and functional. And in the 
modern python world is also very stable (IDLE used to get a black eye 
because it had snags early-on).  Today IDLE works, has great features, 
and actually helps new users get on-board with Python.
