EdSharp allows you to change what is considered the unit of indeentation. Can't remember if it's in the config dialogue or if you have to edit edsharp.ini.

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.

Hi Alex,
I encourage you to stick with EdSharp, drop using PyBrace, and get used to
dealing with the indentation. Either use a JAWS indentation scheme or the
EdSharp ability to tell you the indent level. Also investigate the EdSharp
commands that have to do with blocks of code. I really think you will be
more happy in EdSharp than you will with a whole new editor. And if you get
used to coding in pure Python, you won't forget to put the colons in.

Subject: Python editors

Hi all,
I am wondering if there is an accessible editor specifically for
Python? Edsharp's pydent/pybrace are good, but they mean you have to
manage two sets of files, so if you misplace even one brace, you will
freeze Edsharp.

I am wondering if there is an editor that will auto-indent as you
type, maybe with navigation features to move to the next highest
block, or by a given block (function by function, for example)? I have
never come across one, but I could have missed it...
