Re: [orca-list] Accessible multi-platform GUI toolkits

I realise that it is useful to feed back to the original authors, as I am 
sure that many apps would benefit if wx was to be accessible, so I will be 
doing that.

I need something which is currently accessible, so wondered if there was 
anything else for the moment, otherwise I will have to use one and just wait 
for accessibility on all the platforms.

How are the alternatives, eg. tkinter, pygtk, pyqt, etc for accessibility. I 
know that pygtk is meant to be accessible on linux (isn't that what you use 
in Orca foa), but how about windows?
