I would personally try looking at the PyCrust.py that's included with
wxPython.  It has a standard shell, and you can use the Ctrl-]  hotkey
to increase the font size.  You can make it big and readable...  (but
not bold, which would be nice.)  Then, hide your taskbars (or system
menus) and maximize...
