Recommended python shells

I'm just starting to mess around with python and I'm wondering what people use for a python shell. The two that I've used so far are IDLE and ipython.

I like using IDLE for its keyword highlighting and popup helps, but it has weird threading issues that interfere with matplotlib. And I like some of ipython's enchanced features, like history and object help, but it has some major annoyances, like being unable to jump back to an above line of code.

Are there any other popular options?
