Well, I am not sure this is an interesting thing for the programmers. The 
programmers (including me) are usually interested to have the job done as 
fast as possible, with as few efforts as possible and to be easy to 
maintain.
The GUIs should be accessible by default like in case of wxWIDGETS, SWT or 
WindowsForms. That's why I said that that lib should be included in Python 
implicitely eventually because if it is just promoted, the beginners won't 
know about it and most of the programmers won't care to add accessibility 
features with aditional efforts.

Too bad that it doesn't support the accessibility for Windows though.
