[nfbcs] Eclipse installation and setup for Python

[Daniel]

Dear list members,

  I've posted to this list a few weeks back.  In case you don't 
remember, I am Daniel Gillen, a rising college sophomore at 
Haverford College in Pennsylvania.  As I will be taking an intro 
computer science course this coming fall, I am in the process of 
testing out software which we will be using to see how well it 
works with JAWS.  That said, I have installed Eclipse, but have 
trouble setting it up for Python.  I downloaded the Eclipse Juno 
package called "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers".  From my 
understanding, Eclipse is used mostly by those working in Java 
rather than Python.  I have attached the instructions which I 
found for setting up Eclipse to use Python, but they seem 
outdated.  Please let me know if this is the case, or if there is 
any more up-to-date, accessible way of completing the  setup 
process.
  Also, I am still confused as to how to work with the 
Accessible_Output interface for Python.  When I ran a sample 
Python program and had Accessible_Output installed, Jaws could 
only read the prompts of a program that came before the closing 
one.  In other words, if the program was only designed to display 
a single message (such as a "hello world" program), JAWS would 
not read the output.  However, if it was one of those programs in 
which you type in parameters to calculate a desired value, JAWS 
would read all of the outputs that came before the final result 
(at which point the program's execution would finish).  The main 
point of this message is that I am spending much time during 
these last few weeks of summer vacation preparing to enter 
sophomore year with all the tools I would need to succeed.  
Again, please let me know of any suggestions regarding Eclipse 
and/or Python and accessibility with JAWS.

Thank you,
Daniel
