in trying to make programming in Python more accessible to disabled programmers
(specifically mobility impaired speech recognition users), and hitting a bit of
a wall.  The wall (for today) is indentation.  I need a method of getting the
"right indentation" without having to speak a bunch of unnecessary commands.
For example, depth specified by the previous line.  But, frequently you need to
go to a more arbitrary indentation for example the right level of indentation
for a method definition or class definition.  This indentation should be
something you could get by typing/speaking the right command with your eyes 
closed.

For example if I was to give the command "new method", I should be able to spit
out a template (contained within the speech recognition environment) and through
a command embedded in the template, force indentation to the right level for
"def" and then the editor would control indentation for the rest of the text
injection.

I prefer are working in Emacs because that's where I have a lot of my speech
grammars set up but I'm not averse to trying another editor.  The only condition
is that the editor must run a Windows and have remote editing mode (like tramp)
so I can edit on remote machines.

ideas?
