PyShell is, as far as I know, now included only as part of wxPython.
wxPython includes other little apps that embed PyShell in them.

If you do download wxPython to use Pyshell, you may want to download
Lightning Compiler, a little app I wrote that embeds PyShell. It can be
found at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=125834
under "lightning".  Others have found it useful :-)
