I will test them. Unfortunately they are not a solution because if I want to create an accessible app I can do it using an accessible library, but if the other programmers of the world use a non-accessible by default GUI, than their programs won't be accessible, or they will offer a limited accessibility like Java Access Bridge offers to SWING-based apps. If Tkinter would use that project that should offer the accessibility by default, that would be a real solution. Octavian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
