Change the target of the shortcut to IDLE you are using from something like
"c:\Python20\pythonw.exe" "c:\Python20\Tools\idle\idle.pyw"
to
"c:\Python20\pythonw.exe" "c:\Python20\Tools\idle\idle.pyw" -t Python
and you will get a shell window instead of an editor. Or, after starting
IDLE to the editor window, you can get a shell by choosing "Python Shell"
from the Run menu.
Note that the new IDLE makes it so easy to run a program from the editor
(you don't even have to save it) that in many cases you will find it easier
to add a line at a time to your program and hit F5 to re-execute it after
each change than to use the shell. In particular, it's much easier to
correct mistakes.
