Re: dogtail text attributes

[Zack Cerza <zcerza redhat com>]

Oh, I misunderstood you before. You're right, dogtail does not currently 
have its own API for the finer-grained AccessibleText attributes. *But* 
for situations like this, there is always a workaround. You may access 
the "real" AccessibleText object by doing something like this:

(n is a Node instance that implements the AccessibleText interface)
>>> nText = n.queryText()
>>> print str(nText)
"<CORBA.Object 'IDL:Accessibility/Text:1.0' at 0x7fcf54570c90>"

And you can use any of the normal AccessibleText attributes/methods as 
documented in the AT-SPI docs.

That said, the above is a workaround. It won't go away, but I am 
certainly not opposed to adding more convenience attributes/methods to 
the Node class itself. Patches always accepted :)
