Hi, Ben Donohue: > If I type python at the shell prompt I get a python >>>

It's nicer to use than the prompt (you can go back, change the code and run it again) and lets you save what you're doing. However, it doesn't do the "displays their program running" and there can be a lot of hidden state (what variable has what value is not visible). Depending on the age of the children and their strengths and interests, something like Scratch may be a more gentle introduction.
