Well actually, indention is critical from what I've heard with
python.  I'll have to see with the bookshare stuff; I usually get the
daisy version of the O'Reily books and take the main xml page and get
it as HTML so can open that up to read it.  or I also can convert the
bookshare daisy book into a self voiced daisy format with dtb maker
and listen to it with a Victor Reader stream but then you lose much
needed punctuation.  But then Cepstral Calie is really nice and
soothing to listen to:).  But this is way off topic concerning Orca:).

Maybe these can get me started though.  If I could understand the
syntax of the existing scripts and their intent, I could learn a lot
by copying existing code.
