Re: text highlighting in Irb and Python
Colored python syntax? You can do that in any editor that supports syntax highlighting. vim, nano, emacs, to name a few.

If so, that's ipython (last I checked it was in community)

Re: text highlighting in Irb and Python
Yep that's Ipython alright, but I personally prefer using IDLE for quick checking rather the plain command-line interactive prompt.
