The initial version of Tka11y is released. You can find it at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Tka11y.
 
>From the package description...
 
This module makes it possible for accessibility (a11y) clients (e.g., audible readers, magnifiers, etc.) to get accessibility data (name, description, role, actions, etc.) from the Tk widgets of Python applications that use Tkinter. It also allows automated GUI application testers that use the accessibility interface (such as dogtail, LDTP, and Accerciser) to control the Tk widgets of these applications.
 
Currently, accessibility is only available via ATK <=> AT-SPI on Linux. Sorry, no Windows MSAA support.
 
Enjoy!
