Another option is Mark Gudial's IDE http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/mediaComp-teach#Python he uses for his media computation course.
He uses jython instead of python, and he has a Linux version. It is a nice environment that was designed to teach non CS majors how to program, but I am not sure if it would run on XO's. His slides are an excellent source of ideas as well.
