[orca-list] Does pyatspi require at-spi2?

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I know the subject seems like an odd question, however it has actually 
come up.

I filed a bug against the archlinux package for pyatspi as it does not 
depend on at-spi2-core suggesting such a dependency should exist. A 
comment has been added to that bug report which reads like this: Hello, 
pyatspi is not a bindings module for some C library. AFAIK, it is a pure 
Python module that allows to write clients for the AT-SPI protocol. It 
has no reason to depend on anything special, just like graphical 
applications should not depend on xorg-server and webbrowsers do not 
depend on Apache.

So what is the situation about pyatspi and at-spi2 and what pyatspi 
requires?
