Sure if you like.  You know about the shell option but
prefer this other way.

I think many beginners waste time doing less formal
testing using raw_input loops that would be more easily
accomplished in shell mode.

Once you get into formal testing, there's a utility
called PyUnit that some people like.  It has an optional
GUI front end, and there's talk of merging that into
IDLE at some point (both are Tk apps).
