Re: Seeking Assistance with Python's IDLE for Blind Users

Show all headers | View raw

Jeff, there are a few specific programmer's resources for blind/VI 
programmers that might help more - I am myself a 100% blind programmer, 
and, would not necessarily recommend idol from our perspective, since 
most people use VS code, or things like edSharp or even pycharm, but, I 
am a user of NVDA, which is itself written in python, and not a jaws 
user, so you might do better to ask some of the other people in that 
context - general blind programmer's mailing list:

https://www.freelists.org/list/program-l


And, the pythonvis blind python programmer's mailing list:

https://programmingforeveryone.groups.io/g/pythonvis


But, besides that, I am a 100%/full-time python web-developer, who uses 
python for other things as well, and, besides VS code, edSharp 
programmer's text editor is still probably my code editor of choice.
