Repl.it is a pretty neat solution too, don't get me wrong.
And IDLE has always left me unimpressed relative to the terminal... but using Unicode on Windows, suddenly code pages get involved, which no one should ever have to know. There is a long series of subtle, unpleasant tradeoffs.
Writing short Python scripts when I traveled with a Chromebook was messy, I leaned on repl.it as one option... It was super easy to dive in.
