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

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

It is mostly a python wrapper around libatspi (from at-spi2-core) with a 
few methods added and various renamings and other changes for 
compatibility with pyatspi v1.  at-spi2-core is a run-time dependency but 
not a build dependency.
