I second the IPython suggestion. I don't use it that often, but when I'm doing interactive number crunching, it's my tool of choice. The ability to interactively go back and edit some block of code, then re-execute it, is really handy when exploring a dataset. And the tight integration of graphing/plotting libraries is awesome. I tend to use it in the mode where I'm running the compute kernel on a remote machine (typically a big machine in a data center somewhere) and the display portion in a browser on my desktop. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
