Remember that Jupyter has a pretty nice text editor (with syntax highlighting! but no autocomplete or discovery... yet), and there's nothing stopping you from teaching a student how to write a .py file in the Jupyter interface and then import it in a cell. And then showing them how they can do the same thing with ANY old text editor.
