Hi, I would say Python too. But I don't know what you intend to do. I should write a
A problem with Python for blind programmers is probably the way blocks are defined. There are no braces or Endif keywords. You must use 4 spaces indentations to define blocks. This is very nice for sighted programmers, because it removes the redundancy between braces and indentation, so you cannot be mistaken by a bad indentation. But for a blind programmer, I don't know it is slightly annoying or really annoying. Somebody in another thread said that with a braille terminal it is not too bad, but I wonder how annoying it is with a synthesizer. An interesting thing is that, like in BASIC interpreters, you can write commands in interactive mode and have instantly the result of each line, so it is nice when you learn (and later too). Even if you don't use it for faster programs, Python may be useful for quickly written scripts that you will use once. And learning it may not take too much time. A tutorial is provided with the documentation, or at http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html Jean-Luc PS About object-oriented programming, with Python you can write a program without defining new classes, but if the program grows larger you can define them too. And while you are writing your first less than 10 lines scripts, you will probably use classes and objects from the existing modules. For example, to print the content of a file called test.txt, you can write for example: f = file("test.txt") print f.read() In this example you have created a file object called "f" corresponding to the existing "test.txt" file, and you used the "read" method of this object to get the content of the file and print the returned string. Note that you don't need to know how the file object does this internally. Sorry for this probably confusing example. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
