IPython is closely associated with Numpy and scientific and numeric 
processing.

There is the venerable but still useful IDLE that is included with 
Python.   You'll need to install the Tkinter port for the corresponding 
Python port:

(Also, currently the MacPorts Tk is an X11-based one.  There are more 
native Tk ones available with other Python installations like the 
python.org OS X installers.)
