I haven't used Python yet but I expect that I will. I understand that its indentation is significant to the meaning of the code on any given line but don't decent text editors keep one's indentation properly aligned? Adding audio to describe the indentation of any given line is simple and, of course, we all can use Jamal's editor to use braces while we type and make them go away to compile properly. I don't know why people choose Python over any other language as I have spent nearly zero time exploring it but, while indentation rules aren't exactly blind friendly, I can't see it as a showstopper. cdh Happy Hacking, cdh Chris Hofstader email: cdh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Blog: http://www.blindconfidential.blogspot.com Skype: BlindChristian -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Octavian Rasnita Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2008 12:15 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Creating an Operating System with speech included A whole month?! It is much too much. One day would be enough, but I don't think I will start to like python's indentation in a single day, and probably not even after a month. Oh, or if you will say that you don't like it but you just get used to use it, then it is not enough. For the moment I can choose the language I need to use and I can choose only what I personally like, no matter what others say. If I will see that I could be a part of a team that use python and I could earn much enough to make the necessary effort of getting used to use it, then I will probably start using it, but even in that case I don't think I will say that python indentation is friendly for the blind. How friendly could it be if it requires a month to get used to use it?
