I took a test drive and found it clean and simple.

The ability to set arguments is something I often find necessary and have
found that an obvious way to do so - there in DrPython - to be missing from
some more complex IDEs (though it's usually is there somewhere).

OTOH, there isn't a lot of functionality of the sort that I tend not to pay
much attention to.  Clean and simple.

Since it is wxPython based, is it possible it would make sense to call the
enhanced shell, PyShell, shipped now with wxPython, rather than the plain
old prompt?

I am glad I am not in the Python IDE business though.  A plethora of options
and riches.
