I have no idea what VPAT/WCAG is.  In any case, CPython is a volunteer 
project distributed for no cost.  We generally leave it to potential 
users or 3rd parties to evaluate its suitability.

That said, IDLE uses the tcl/tk GUI framework, which I believe lacks 
some modern accessibility features.  From what I have read, tk does not 
have, for instance, proper compatibility with screen readers.
