Zack,
I was not able to find the queryText method you mentioned, but I was able to find the underlying text object using n._Node__text. (I'm using dogtail 0.6.1; perhaps the method you speak of is new?)
At any rate, I now have access to the atspi level text object, but to my amazement, I find that the text object does not support the getAttribute or getDefaultAttribute methods I find documented at http://library.gnome.org/devel/at-spi-cspi/stable/at-spi-cspi-AccessibleText-Interface.html. (Looking through the atspi doc will confirm this.) I see there is a editabletext object I can obtain which supports setAttributes (but, oddly, not getAttributes!). This is rather frustrating. Do you know of another way to get at the attributes of a text object?

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.
