Another editor is Notepad2. Do you remember Q who used to post on program-l? He liked Notepad2 because it is very light weight, but it is also based on that scintilla editor so the highlighting in jaws is a problem.
So we are back to EdSharp, which has some nice features for python. But how do you run your script in the editor and retain any output to check?
I think alt+tab back and forth between EdSharp and a command shell is the only viable option at this point.

I also noticed that another recommended editor is Notepad++, and JAWS doesn't work well with that one either. So far for me, as far as Python is concerned, EdSharp seems to work best. I'm talking about editors that have better capability than Notepad. Although, maybe with a slight amount of working with its clip language, NoteTab Pro will work well. That program costs $39, if anyone wants to spend the money on it. I tried Notetab Light, the free version, with JAWS 14, and it did not work well at all, no matter what I tried. I could give it a try with JAWS 15. If anyone on this list uses NVDA or Window-eyes, I could try those, to see what works and what does not. Another one, called SciTe, kind of looks promising, but you have to set JAWS up to use its highlight color. Once you do that, you can then begin to slowly customize the editor to the way you like to work by working with its profile settings, which come in plain text files. There is something of a learning curve with this editor, but you may be able to start to write profile settings that are helpful. But of now, it is mostly EdSharp for me. If I choose to dig in and learn some of its features that use JScript or VBScript, I may be able to get it to automatically grab Python help. But I'm not even promising myself that I can do that soon with everything going on with me right now. Thanks. Jim On 5/4/14, Richard Dinger <rrdinger@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi Jim, I tried the PyScriptor as well and also had trouble with it. Maybe somejaws scripts could resolve things, but tthat takes a lot of time. One thingI noted was that IDE even includes a debugger. I have used pp a bit and find it slightly faster.

This package comes with a lot of stuff other than the Python standard library. I tried the editor it has caled PyScripter, and it didn't work that well with JAWS. Maybe it is a nice convenience to have all of the things this distribution comes with, though. Jim -- e+r=o Skype: jim.homme
