You got autocompletion when using tab, dynamic behaviour because it's a shell and you can get the full documentation of any object / method typing :

When developping, I agree that PyDev is cool. But it's heavy, so while learning, a text editor + iPython is really nice.

For emacs and VI there's also https://github.com/tkf/emacs-jedi.

IronPython is the way to go. Visual Studio has the best intellisense support and you can utilize that using IronPython
