The best way out of this is to use IPython.  It also needs a backend
which remains responsive, WxAgg works but Tk did not last time I
tried.  IPython 0.8.1 is a release candidate which fixes some Windows
issues in 0.8.0.  If you want a stable package that has all the parts
present out of the box then look at Enthought.
