WxPython versus Tkinter.

Wow! I, I, I, I... is there a sentence that doesn't talk about your self 
interests?
When I informed the Python community about Tkinter's problems and why it 
shouldn't be promoted I didn't do it only for my selfish interests, because 
for my private use I can create the programs as I want, so if I don't like 
WxPython I don't use WxPython, and if I don't like Tkinter I don't use 
Tkinter so it is not a problem if Python promotes a bad GUI from this 
perspective.

You haven't downloaded any inaccessible program made with Tkinter, you 
didn't have any problems, You can create an accessible program if you can't 
find an accessible one, you care only to please the other for working with 
you and so on.
But don't you care about the millions of blind people like you which are not 
programmers?
Don't you care that most programmers don't know about accessibility and they 
just don't create accessible programs not because they don't want, but 
because they don't know about this thing?
Retorical question... It is obviously that you don't care.

Ok, you don't care. There are very many like you. But do you think that this 
is the right atitude? To not care about the others at all but only about 
your selfish interests because the alternative is a loss of time?

Can't you see that this isn't normal? Can't you see that some people don't 
even believe you that you are blind but you still promote the non-accessible 
programs?
But there could be an explanation for this too. You might look great in your 
gang if the other blind people you know are not able to use some programs 
but you are able to create your own which are accessible. You will appear 
really special.
