Re: [orca-list] Most accessible Python GUI toolkit




I used WXPython long ago and it was pretty accessible then on Linux
based desktops such as Gnome.

Thanks Andrew.

I'm guessing Wx will be better on Linux due to using GTK rather than
QT as its underlying rendering system but I'm not sure.

For what it's worth, I have played with wxPython 3.? and PyQt5 under
Windows and they both work pretty well. Imho, Wx tends to work a bit
better. I suspect that being such an old framework, it simply exposes
everything as Windows 95/98/me/xp used to and leaves the screen reader
to build the off-screen model by hooking its tentacles as much as
possible into the OS. This is mere speculation and I could be wrong. As
far as I know, Qt5 uses MSAA in Windows and the AT-SPI stack in Linux.
Personally, I find Qt5 to be a bit nicer to work with codewise than Wx.
Its event signalling system is just plain simpler.

I haven't tested either on Linux however.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Hi all,

This is a question for any Python developers:

I need to build a new cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows) Python app and
would like to use the most accessible GUI toolkit.

I've used pygobject before on Linux for GTK, but this isn't easily
ported to Windows.

Should Tkinter work with Orca? All the Tkinter demo apps I try are
completely silent.

Also what about WxPython?

Any help or experience in this area would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick
