<p dir="ltr">A few (possibly more aceessible) alternatives to IDLE:</p>
<p dir="ltr">* IPython in a terminal<br>
* IPython qtconsole (Qt toolkit)<br>
* IPython Notebook may / should have WAI ARIA role tags (which are really easy to add to most templates)<br>
* Spyder IDE (Qt toolkit) embeds an IPython console with a Run button and lightweight code completion: <a href="https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/">https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/</a><br>
* I have no idea whether the python-mode Vim plugin is accessible: <a href="https://github.com/klen/python-mode">https://github.com/klen/python-mode</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">* Here's my dot vim config: <a href="https://github.com/westurner/dotvim">https://github.com/westurner/dotvim</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">It could be helpful to get a Wiki page together for accessibility: tools, features, gaps, best practices, etc.</p>

Here are the tools I have tried already ... Idle ...<br>
it would be nice to have something like Idle made accessible.<br>

Idle uses tkinter, the interface to the tcl tk gui system. I have read that tk is not designed for accessibility. There is nothing we can do about that. If our idlelib code makes matters worse, say with tooltips, we could try to improve it. But I just do not know if there is anything we could do.<br>
