I'm obviously biased (I started IPython years ago), but I've done a lot 
of teaching and I still do like the combination of IPython plus an 
editor.  Sometimes I use IDLE configured to only open the editor and not 
the shell, but I recommend that users learn a 'real' editor for the long 
run (aka emacs/vim), as it's an investment that will pay off many times 
over.  

But if nothing else, there's at least an OK free editor for each OS that 
does work, and I keep a 'starter kit' page with those resources for my 
students:
