Accerciser 1.2.0
Just 15 minutes a day for better accessibility!
Description
===========
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, Accerciser is a next generation at-poke tool.
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 you've 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.
