I am quite used to pure python, as you put it. Currently, I use
edsharp to write my code, manually indenting. I gave up on pybrace
because having two sets of files, and therefore two sets of prompts to
go through when trying to close, got frustrating and I found that
things went faster if I just wrote the python to begin with and fought
with indenting. If I have to check indentation, though, things get
difficult, especially if I am looking at someone else's code. I find
that most people, including myself, use spaces to indent rather than
tabs, so edsharp always reports an indentation level of 0. I use
spaces because jaws speaks both blank lines and tabs as "blank" when
reading character by character, whereas spaces are spoken as "space",
allowing me to tell what is an indent and what is a hard return when
reading character by character.
