[nvda] Re: Introduction

Your comments about NVDA using python and you knowing C++, made me think of one thing that may help with NVDA.
This proposal to those who may want to help out with NVDA but only know C, hopefully will seem good to the core NVDA developers. Python can interface with C, and while python may be fast enough for most of NVDA, there are some parts which are admitted to be slightly slow (thinking of virtual buffer loading), that these could be rewritten in C which hopefully would be faster. This would require those who know C to read about interfacing with python, but that isn't too difficult (I am talking more as someone who knows python and when interfacing with C, C is the less well known). Alternatively, you could write DLLs and then interface with python ctypes (may be that is favourable to me as I am a python programmer). It seems to be a slight problem that python isn't widely enough used for more developers, but I am sure that if we were to try and do this mixture of C and python then more developers may come forward. 

How does this sound to both python programmers and C programmers?

Hey Robjoy!
Well, well. The Hungarians always meet at one point in life. I guess that saying is true. I know you from many sources. :)
Yes, I imagine the reason you're running JAWS 6.2 is because the orginazation that translates jaws ( vakalap ) has not yet done JAWS 8 in the Hungarian version. That's sad. Many of my friends are revolting against the orginization, and trying to manual translate JAWS. But this discussion is for another list that I have not yet heard of.
So, one big reason for me to translate NVDA ( which I have done ) into Hungarian was because I wanted the Hungarian folks to have a screen reader that's almost like JAWS. They accepted it fine, but still hate the fact that symbols and marks are spoken in English. I heard that the developers are working around this issue, though I'm not sure on progress. You may find the translation instruction at:

I myself do not know Python as well. I'm more of a c + + guy. Maybe it's because of the fact that for my Robotics club, the robot had to be programmed in c++. Or maybe because my dad taught me Pascal at age 7, which is almost like c++.
Anyways, 496 words is a lot to read, I know. I hope that you have fun on here and that all will work out fine.

Hello all,
I'm Robert Osztolykan from hungary, and i'd like to introduce

myself.

Some of you who subscribed to the audyssey gamers mailing list,

or visiting audiogames.net's forums, may know me as Robjoy.

I'm 19 years old,  studying informatic technology, including

programming, but unfortunately i do not know the pithon language.

I'm using jaws as my main screen reader, and, of course, its

quite good.

However, after visiting a friend who has no screen reader at all
(of course not, he's sighted, stupid me, smiles), i looked for alternatives, and i've found thunder. 
I've thought, its ok, but when someone has told me about nvda, i
said, lets give it a try. So, i did, and i have to say, i'm quite impressed. Considering that its a 
quite young project, open source, and free, it totally deserves

the best free screen reader reward.

The fact, that it works with firefox, made me happy as well,
since i'm not a big friend of IE, and since i'm using jaws 6.2, which has no firefox support, i think its 
quite understandable.
Well, these are my thoughts for now, as i realised i'm talking

too much about things which are obvious.

Best regards,
Rob
