Yes of course and I know that, but what I wanted to show was that there is not only a single way, and that not all the blind programmers have the same needs, and what some programmers say that would be considered a good practice just because it fits to their needs.
So your correct answer would have been that yes, python is less friendly for the blind, but because the sighted programmers like it because it offer visual aids and some specific features they like, and maybe because in some parts of the world there is a demand for python programmers, we, the blind programmers must make the efforts and accept to use some workarounds in order to have a better chance of finding work.
That would have been more correct, so those who know that they don't care about the sighted programmers, or know that in their country there is no a big demand for python, would understand better for which situations is python good for the blind.

See again this is a Teddy problem not a real problem. You are arguingbecause you don't work with other people. In the real world those of us whoreally code for a living must work with other coders. If you code to make money you have to code with other people because no matter how much I wishit was so to really compete you must work in teams. You are working as oneperson so any language will do you so use what you like best and everyone else be damned but don't tell us what is best because you don't have to collaborate with other people which changes the entire game.

And even when programming, it is not nice to press home then to press the right arrow for more times in order to reach at the beginning of the textfrom the current line. And it is also not nice to press home and the editorto put the cursor there implicitely, without letting you know that on that line there are some more spaces before the text. Of course I can find if there are more spaces, but that would require moretime for pressing different hotkeys or setting Jaws to speak the indentationlevel, but why doing this? Just for making the code more accessible for the sighted when no sighted person works with my code?
