well this makes really no sense... python is a programming language not 
a toolkit.
it like saying my pizza is not compatible to salami. a developer can use 
GTK for creating a graphical user interface, but its not mandatory. the 
developer can even use wx or QT. it the default widgets of the toolkit 
doesn't implement accessibility its the fault of the toolkit, not of an 
programming language.

on step more,  pyching looks like its using a custom set of widgets, so 
those are just handmade by the developer itself ( not using a standard 
widget of an toolkit) in this case the developer also need to implement 
the required accessibility interfaces (in whatever language it is written)

but all this belongs to _all_ programming languages not only to python

python doesn't ship any GUI tools. it only ships the python interpreter 
with some default librarys to do stuff like math or time operations, 
this will give an interactive mode, but this is command line only. if 
python ships any GUI tools then those are packed by your distributor. 
its also not mandatory to have a UI to do any Python related work. If i 
write some scripts for my server i use VIM via ssh. so no GUI 
interaction at all.
