Some ideas here: Linux: Linux users can use the free and small Tka11y library from the site below. To use this library, one replaces "import Tkinter" with "import Tka11y" - couldn't be easier! http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/Tka11y Mac OS X: Quoting Arndt Roger Schneider from this list: "I think Tk-aqua (also 8.6) should work out-of-the-box with brail-lines, text-to-speech and such; the older carbon built however won't." I'm not sure what is involved in using an independent version of Tkinter that's newer than the build of Tkinter that ships with the standard library? Windows: While there appears(?) to be no built-in accessability for Windows versions of Tkinter I've seen Windows Tkinter applications that have used Windows native TTS functionality to provide a limited form of accessability for users with poor vision. > And if/when this does get done for Tk, I promise at least to make sure that > the tutorial at http:///www.tkdocs.com covers this topic I really enjoyed your tkdocs.com site!! Based on the new ttk functionality you covered on your site, my company actually began moving GUI projects from wxPython back to Tkinter. How's that for an odd trend?! :) Malcolm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
