you didn't start one. It had been mentioned before, which was all he was refering too. There was a war a few months back that you might find in the archives. A few people were jabbering about things they new nothing of, but you can gleam some useful information out of it. The point he was trying to make though, is that many blind people bitch and moan about indentation and say python isn't able to be used.

Don't take that approach, there are ways to do it *without* braille.

I am not going to start up the python argument again.  Is there not an
archive of this list this person can read over the python war about 3 or 4
months back?  The fact is python is simple to use with Jaws especially if
you get used to it whether you use speech or Braille. I have been working about 70% of my job the last 11 months totally in Python, totally blind. I have some pretty cool apps written totally in python from a book reader to word processor I have a Braille display but I only turn it on to make sure
the apps act write when people run them up.  I hate using Braille to code
and really like coding with python so don't let people tell you you have to have Braille to do it. You can do it once you get used to it. Furthermore I do not use anything that tells me the indentation levels. The only crutch I use is boxer editor it keeps my indention levels the same unless I tab but many of the editors out there do that for you anyway. If you want a larger
discussion on python go back and read the archives of this list if they
exist.

if you like identation, yes.
With a braille display is quite nice to program in python, but only with
jaws, I don't like it.

Hi there, I asked this one a few days ago and so far have received no
response. Will Python work w/JAWS? I need answers quickly as the class
starts tomorrow.
