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.
