Re: Orca Question about the scripting language!

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Paul:

The Orca scripting language is Python, which is easy to learn and has
been around for a long time.  There are plenty of tutorials available on
it.  We list three on http://live.gnome.org/Orca under the "Python
References" section:

For using Python to write scripts for Orca, we're working on a script
writing guide.  Since we're working as quickly as we can on Orca, and
since we do some refactoring from time-to-time, the script writing guide
tends to always be out of date.  But, the overall philosophy and ideas
tend to remain constant.  You can take a look at the latest out-of-date
script writing guide here:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/orca/trunk/docs/doc-set/orca.html#SCRIPTGUIDE

After things settle down (e.g., the Orca team and the Firefox team end
up working out a decent accessibility solution to Firefox), I intend to
go back and rework the script writing guide to reflect the current state
of the code.

Hope this helps!

Will
