Hi,
Sorta depends on if you intend to work with sighted colleagues in the future.
In which case, do not use EdSharp.
You're better off using something like NotePad++ or VS Code in that case,
since it's editors that are more well-known in non-blind circles. Believe me,
this matters. a lot.

Hi,
So I have a dumb question so please bear with me.
I want to start Python and I was planning to use ED Sharp as an editor. If
I shift to VS then do I need to first learn VS or is it mostly as a text editor
and I can learn as I go along?
Basically which would be better for someone who wants to start Python?
Thanks and Regards
Mohit

blind programmers
Hi folks, since some have asked about editors and IDS on the list lately
I'm sharing some of the research Warren Clary and I have been doing on this
topic. I hope you find the below of use to you.
I have been doing more reading on editors, and IDE's for Python. At
this time you may want to consider "Visual Studio Community 2017" as a
good production IDE for blind programmers.
How a Blind Developer uses Visual Studio:

Microsoft has two IDEs that can be used for Python programming:
o Visual Studio 2017 (Community, Professional, Enterprise)
o Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio is a .net product that has been around for years, and
runs under Microsoft windows. It is their premier development
package. You can download a version for education, non commercial
application development, and open source application development for
free (Visual Studio Community 2017). A single copy of the commercial
version cost $2,500.00 a year.

Go to the Visual Studio Community 2017
Free, fully-featured IDE for students,
open-source and individual developers
and download the software.

Here is a video tutorial on Python Tools for Visual Studio. The audio
on this video is good.

Microsoft "Visual Studio Code" is a new product, has some bugs, and
has some issues with JAWS,and NVDA. This may change in the future.
Python in Visual Studio Code:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python
This is a new product developed by Microsoft and can be
used for all type of software development, and runs on multiple
platforms ( windows, mac, Linux ). This software was developed using
the Electron Shell framework. At present as problems with JAWS and NVDA.
See the section listed below, "ElectronShell and screenreader accessibility"

ElectronShell and screenreader accessibility
See the link to, "electronShell and screenreader accessibility":
https://discuss.atom.io/t/electronshell-and-screenreader-accessibility/23893
A blind programmer discusses his problems with:
atom
visual studio code
Kitematic
All of these editors are based on electron shell. Microsoft says they
have been doing work to make VS code more accessible. It looks like
they have been making changes on their code, not going back to
"Electron" to have them address their problems.
