Re: rebuilding wx widgets with accessible addons

Hi Nathan,

first: the wxPython-users list is almost dead.
Most of the discussions are now on https://discuss.wxpython.org/ or on 
Github.
Fortunately, Discuss has a better email option than other forum software 
has.

I'm not sure what the modification is that you're talking about.
Did you try the current wxPython version? In the past there were 
versions which had problems with the accessibility interface.
I think that 4.0.4 to 4.0.7 had problems with Windows 32 bit builds. 
Others had problems related to 64 vs. 32 bit.
I think that the latest version should behave better.

In one of the next wxPython releases, you should be able to override the 
CreateAccessible method in Python for more customized screen reader support.
The pull requests have been merged.

There are more improvements coming once wxPython is updated to the 
latest wxWidgets version.
The grid should then provide at least some basic screen reader support.

In case you are wondering:
I'm the maintainer of the wxGlade GUI builder and I have some users with 
screen readers. I try to support this as much as possible. The 
application has some options to improve accessibility, but I hope these 
will not be required any more with the next wxPython versions.

Regards,

Dietmar
