Could anyone suggest me a simple IDE suitable for teaching Python as a

editor + command line?

Preferably. I believe that using a editor + command line will only make
things worse because console and GUI have different encodings under
Windows. So a student that have written a script in a GUI editor and saved
it in UTF-8 would see garbage in console.
