[Nfb-science] Learning Python

[Christine Szostak]

Hi,
  Off-hand I do not recall  the specific syntax but you can use something 
like:

write.out("Hello world!")

  with "out" referring to a file handle you give to a file you want Python 
to create or append to. Since you are  in control of the output file, you 
can use .txt, .xls... which should read fine with JAWS. The only way to make 
most GUI consoles read with JAWS is to use the JAWS or invisible cursor. At 
least this is my degree of experience.
Many thanks,
Christine
