Brian, I am also a fully bind python/PHP developer, and all I really bother
with, aside from python interpreter itself is the text editor called
edSharp:
http://www.empowermentzone.com/edsetup.exe
That's been developed by another blind guy who's name you might have heard
in other circles, Jamal Mazrui, and it's just a programmers text editor that
has a bit of extra functionality built in for use along with screen readers
like jaws and NVDA, etc.
And, there are also some other general blind programmer mailing lists - I am
on both progra...@freelists.org as well as a couple of other topic specific
ones, but anyway.
Stay well

Subject: Accessible tools
Hello all,
I have been posting to another group which directed me to this group. I am
a blind software engineering student at Arizona State University. I am
currently doing research and have decided to use Python as my developing
language. I am in search of an accessible IDE or other tool set which will
allow me to use the features with a screen reader. I have tried a number
of tools but so far have been unsuccessful in finding one that allows me
to use the tools and features of the IDE with my screen reader.
I understand that I do not need an IDE to use Python, I am looking for an
IDE to allow me to explore the classes and methods easily and quickly. I
have tried the following tools.
• pyCharm
• iPy
• iPy Notebook
• Idle
• and Eclipse
So far only Eclipse was accessible but I did still incounter some
difficulties like the IDE freezing up when tool tips would pop up. Finally
I am using a Mac mostly but can use Windows, or Linux if need be. Thank
you and I appreciate any and all suggestions.
