rebuilding wx widgets with accessible addons

Hello,


I'm aware, peripherally that this issue crops up from time to time but 
hopefully my question is a simple one.

for the longest time (until now in fact) I've been happily running 
4.0.7post2 for the fact that widget.SetName works mostly to give the 
widget a label for screen readers.


however, other modules are forcing my hand and I can no longer linger 
happily on this, because distutils has been retired in modern python, so 
I can't rebuild 4.0.7post2 in order to be able to use it on python 3.13.


I'm happy to maintain and build wx python versions that implement an 
accessibility hack (from conversations I remember before, I think Robbin 
mentioned something to do with wx core or wx widgets needing to be 
compiled with an accessibility flag or something similar)?

So I'm not arguing for the main library to be edited or antying as I 
understand this is probably not a huge concern.


It would be fantastic to be able to use the latest wx, if I can tweak it 
to where .setName works nicely with readers, and am happy to do those 
tweaks and compile/build as required.

My question is: How do I go about doing this. Where should I be looking?


Thanks in advance

Nathan
