It would be great if the Tk/Tkinter developers would be interested in making this GUI lib accessible. There are no many people that know about this thing, but there are standards like MSAA that can be followed by them if they really want to offer accessibility. I guess that if Tkinter would support MSAA (Microsoft Active Accessibility) in its Windows version, the screen readers would be able to offer support for Tk (or it might be offered by default... I don't know). Octavian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
