And this may indeed be reasonable under Windows, where the command-line is a PITA! But the Linux command-line is actually quite very usable these days, especially if you configure your Python interpreter to use readline for tab-completion of identifiers (which should be done by default, see http://bugs.python.org/issue5845).
