Accerciser 0.1.90

Accerciser is an interactive Python accessibility explorer for the GNOME desktop. It uses AT-SPI to inspect and control widgets, allowing you to check if an application is providing correct information to assistive technologies and automated test frameworks. Accerciser has a simple plugin framework which you can use to create custom views of accessibility information.
In essence, this project is a next generation at-poke tool.
Main features:
ORBit, not cspi, based
- Like the modern LSR and Orca screen readers, Accerciser uses pyORBit to talk AT-SPI with other applications. The legacy cspi module is avoided.
Plugin architecture
- Create a Python module, drop it in a folder, and have it load as a plugin pane with full access to AT-SPI and the selected element in the accessibility tree view.
Interface browser and event monitor plugins
- All the features youve come to expect from a poke tool, and then some.
IPython console plugin
- A full, interactive Python shell with access to the accessible object selected in the tree view; all AT-SPI interfaces, methods and attributes; and any other Python modules. Supports autocompletion and a million other niceties thanks to IPython.
API browser plugin
- Shows the interfaces, methods, and attributes available on the selected accessible object.
Global hotkeys
- Move the tree view quickly to the last focused accessible or the one under the mouse pointer. Insert a marker into the event monitor log for easy identification at a later time.
Customizable UI layout
- Move plugin tabs to different panels or even separate windows to view them concurrently.
Accessibility!
- Accerciser does not disable its own accessibility.
Yelp documentation
- Included in the package.
Python powered
- Brits, not serpents.
