PyCrust and PyShell (as shipped with wxPython) are more or less the same
thing, except PyCrust has the object browser (which can be nice). 
Otherwise they run everything you type in the same process as the GUI
that is handling input/output, etc.  If you type something that is an
infinite loop, etc., they will never return and you will need to kill
the application (as opposed to Ctrl+C in a console).

I have no experience with ipython.

I personally prefer opening up a console and running python directly
(even though I include a Python console in my editor).
