Well, you can edit IronPython code with IDLE - but I don't think you'll be able to run it. Keeping a command line window opening whilst editing with IDLE is pretty easy. Alternatively use a slightly more 'featured' editor that allows you to run files with an external command (most text editors will do this - plus it can be done with Python IDEs like SPE, Wing and probably Komodo).
