As for people with physical disabilities that have trouble typing, a Python-aware editor does the identation for you, so all you have to do is type a colon and an enter, then a backspace when you are done being indented. But it's an interesting question, and I'd like to hear from blind programmers about how program language design can make their lives easier or more difficult.
