Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone!
Some responses:
DrPython: tempting, because I've used DrScheme in the past. It seems
a bit of a pain to install X11, wxPython, and DrPython, though. I'd
like these students to be able to do work on their own machines in
addition to in the lab.

Hi,
Are you using pythonw (rather than python) to start the interpreter?

Possible apologies on two accounts:
1. I don`t have an answer to your query (as a non-Mac user)
2. I want to suggest a totally different alternative which *might* be
appropriate, especially since you are teaching non-CS majors...

Hi,
The problem is related with using IDLE because it does not uses
processes or threads. In Mac OS X I installed X11 and use DrPython
(http://drpython.sourceforge.net/) or TexMate (http://
macromates.com/). They both work well. DrPython is great for teaching
and TexMate is a terrific gene

Hi Peter --
In general, developing with Tkinter from inside of IDLE doesn't work well,
because IDLE itself is working a Tk mainloop and the two don't play well
together (they both want to be "main").
You can still use IDLE as your text editor if you invoke your Tkinter-using
code in another proc
Forgive me if this isn't the appropriate place to post...
I'm trying to write a very simple set of graphics functions for use
by my (non-CS-major) students. Playing with Tkinter, I wrote this:
from Tkinter import *
c = Canvas()
c.pack()
c.create_line(0, 0, 20, 30)
mainloop()
It does, as hoped
