trying to get started with pyatspi

["Eric S. Johansson" <esj eggo org>]

 I'm trying to enhance my speech recognition bridge (Windows speech 
recognition bridged to Linux)  by adding some contextual awareness. I 
have 2 needs, 1st is to know what application is running, 2nd is to know 
if focus is on a text area (someplace you dictate plaintext in addition 
to commands)[1]

 are there any examples or samples of the code I can use to accomplish 
my goals?

[1]  The reason for the 2nd need is obvious only if you've lived with 
speech recognition for a while.  if you are not focused on a text 
box/region, you only want command grammars active otherwise inadvertent 
plaintext dictation can trigger all sorts of single character commands. 
I cannot tell you the number of email messages I have lost as a result 
of inadvertent plaintext dictation when in Thunderbird.
