Jeff, there are a few specific programmer's resources for blind/VI
programmers that might help more - I am myself a 100% blind programmer,
and, would not necessarily recommend idol from our perspective, since
most people use VS code, or things like edSharp or even pycharm, but, I
am a user of NVDA, which is itself written in python, and not a jaws
user, so you might do better to ask some of the other people in that
context - general blind programmer's mailing list:
https://www.freelists.org/list/program-l
And, the pythonvis blind python programmer's mailing list:
https://programmingforeveryone.groups.io/g/pythonvis
But, besides that, I am a 100%/full-time python web-developer, who uses
python for other things as well, and, besides VS code, edSharp
programmer's text editor is still probably my code editor of choice.
