Comprehention, Octavian. I've made that point multiple times, but your 
to stuck on talking about how selfish people are.

Selfish? We've had multiple people get interested, and I've had a couple 
of messages off-list about the accessibility, (probably so they wouldn't 
have
to deal with you). We've even had one person ask for a list of screen 
readers, (and I note you only gave him the one -you- use for the OS 
-you- use). There's
no selfishness, just your not knowing when to jump off the soapbox and 
stop parroting something just for the sake of complaining about it. It's 
been admitted that TKInter is not accessible, and discussion has even 
been made about fixing it. Yes, it will take a while, but nothing comes 
in over night. And getting WXPython to the point where it is usable in 
python 3, as has also been mentioned before by many people is going to 
take a lot of work, as well.

Tkinter is old and in many ways insufficient for 21st century GUIs. We
need to decide what should come next. I believe wxPython is our best
hope. Wx may not be the best it can be, but it is the best we have at
this time.

Then you should immediately volunteer to bring wxPython to python3 
compatibility -- as it is, it's not even close...

Start thinking about upping your game from ranting to doing.

Hi Emile,

 From my point of view this discussion is finished for the moment, because

you are right, WxPython is not as fast developed as it needs, because 
Python 3 is not compatible with Python 2.
If no solution is found for this big problem, then yes, WxPython can't 
be included in the Python distribution because there is nothing that can 
be included.


I don't know why you didn't say this before.

The other part of the discussion is related to the accessibility and 
care for accessibility and that discussion is not nice at all, because 
it shows how
selfish are most of the people and they consider this a virtue.
