Team,


I am a Vision Impaired programmer on the Mac and Window platforms. I have started to learn Python. The biggest road block I have is the ability of debugging my simple scripts. The IDLE program does not work with the screen readers I use on the Mac or Windows. A screen reader is a program that grabs the text on the screen and converts it into speech output, at least this is the 50000 feet explanation.  I cannot see the screen at all.

I have looked at eclipse and it doesn't work with Voice-Over (the screen reader on the Mac). I have java issues on my windows machine preventing me running this app.

If I use $python -d script.py the debugger doesn't seem to trigger on the mac. 

So how I can perform a debug on a script so I can step through it, set up break points, watch variables, etc. 

It is really annoying me, since under Perl I just added the -d switch and had a full debugger that worked at the console level.

Sean
