See NEWS file.


Installation
============

See INSTALL file.


Dependencies
============

Python bindings for your distribution, e.g. python-apt or rpm-python

PyGObject and GNOME-Python

Applications to test, e.g. from the GNOME desktop:
    http://gnome.org/

Xvfb and xinit:
    http://xorg.freedesktop.org/

Using
=====

Currently GNOME and GTK+ applications are supported. Thanks to qt-at-spi
KDE4 and QT applications are now available too.

First, enable accessibility support in your GNOME session with:
  gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility true
This only affects newly-started applications, so you may want to log out and 
log back in again.

Then, look at some of the example scripts. Run them, tweak them, write your own.

I suggest starting with gedit-test-utf8-procedural-api.py, as it's updated the
most often.

If you are using KDE instead, install the 'qt-at-spi' QT plugin and make sure
you QT_ACCESSIBILITY set to 1 throughout your environment (you can put
'export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1' to your profile file). QT accessibility should
be stable from QT 4.8.3 onward.
