This is something that I completely agree with and found to be true in my experience. To this end, I've found IPython to be an excellent way of giving feedback while coding. The notebooks have a nice UI, documentation is readily available and its much easier to edit mistakes by simply editing the cell. I'd recommend you give IPython a shot.
