This project is good, a step ahead, but in order to be really useful it should be the one provided by the default Python package. And of course, it should also offer support for Windows, since most of the computer users use Windows, especially those who need accessibility features.

Please consider adding an 'Accessibility' page to the Python wiki with your info and the above for those interested.

Well, I am not sure this is an interesting thing for the programmers. The programmers (including me) are usually interested to have the job done as fast as possible, with as few efforts as possible and to be easy to maintain. The GUIs should be accessible by default like in case of wxWIDGETS, SWT or WindowsForms. That's why I said that that lib should be included in Python implicitely eventually because if it is just promoted, the beginners won't know about it and most of the programmers won't care to add accessibility features with aditional efforts.

Too bad that it doesn't support the accessibility for Windows though.
