On the gui front,

tk developers make no bones about tk not having been built with
accessibility considerations  tk (and thus tkinter which is just the
Python binding to tk),  is not going to work with a screen reader.

wxPython is probably the best choice, it explicitly has support
(although sadly only for Windows):

https://docs.wxpython.org/wx.Accessible.html

possibly some of the other toolkits do - I wouldn't rule out Qt either,
but haven't any experience.
