How to Run Python without a Terminal

I want to teach some students basic Python programming without having to teach them how to use the terminal. Recently, I was teaching a 2 hour intro session, and not only did teaching terminal stuff take a long time, but it also intimidated a lot of the students. I would like a solution where students wouldn't have to leave graphical user interfaces that they were comfortable with.

I also want the solution to let them execute a particular Python file (eg, not just using the interactive Python interpreter) and see the output from printing things.

Thanks!

When I'm not near my own PC, I use ideone.com. I like that it is a universal IDE, which for me means both C++ and Python.

All in the browser.

Bonus points, you introduce them to IPython as well.

Take a look at the gallery too, https://www.wakari.io/gallery

Surely that's what IDLE is for? It's not much good as an IDE, but it does work well for exactly what you describe - opening modules and executing them, and running commands in an interactive shell.
