I also have the impression that most people, rather than IDLE, use some other form of IDE or editor. So it might be worth looking for more generally programming environments with appropriate support. I personally use Emacs for many activities, including programming in Python. On various Emacs-related mailing lists I have come across blind and visually impaired people, most of whom I assume are using Emacsspeak https://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/ which has been around for 30 years, so that may be worth having a look at.
