My experience is that Python is very nice for programming by voice
using speech recognition (I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking) because it
has so much less in the way of punctuation.  This means that spoken
python is much more similar to English than are other computer
languages.

I suspect this would also be good for blind programmers using
text-to-speech.   As others have mentioned, you would need to have a
solution to the whitespace indentation issue.
