Would definitely not really recommend pyCharm - just posted about it's
form of accessibility last week, and, not really up to standard.
Would, in other words, also agree with starting off with a form of
programmer's text editor, like notepad++, edSharp, and then, maybe later
on VS code, but, if you're literally just starting with learning
something like python you will probably do better to, initially, just
use something like notepad++, but, there, bear in mind that I think it's
more compatible with NVDA, as opposed to jaws - but, not 100% sure if
that's still true, since I have literally not used jaws for more than
very occasional testing for a very long time now.

My understanding is that while PyCharm may have some
accessibility-related features, it has a way to go. Others may know
more and hopefully they'll chime in. The PyCharm accessibility page is
here in case you'd like to give it a try:

I'd recommend Notepad++, https://notepad-plus-plus.org. This is more of
a traditional text editor.
Another option would be Visual Studio Code, https://code.visualstudio.com/. ;
This has a much
steeper learning curve but mastering it now could really pay off later.

Could anyone recommend a text editor for a complete beginner? I am just
beginning my journey into coding and I've gathered together some books on
beginning coding with python. One of the books I have begun Reading recommends
an IDE called Pye Charm. is this a good Choice for an environment to start
working with python using a screen reader? any tips for a Newby are much
appreciated. Many thanks.
