I highly recommend you have a look into ipython. It is a breeze to work with. I usually have a couple of terminal screens open, one with the ipython interpreter, which helps me a lot when testing code snipplets.
You can install it using yumex, or just run 'yum install ipython' from the root command line. If you just started with Fedora, go into this site and follow the tips provided. It really improves your working environment. It will also provide you with extra repositories which allow you the installation of ipython among other packages.
