Pyatspi

AT-SPI is a library and set of DBus protocols that allow access technology such as a screen reader to programmatically inspect the information that applications are presenting. It can also be used in automated testing. Pyatspi is a Python wrapper around libatspi, which, in turn, provides a convenient AT-side wrapper around the DBus protocols. Pyatspi exists primarily for historical reasons; libatspi is GObject-based and can be used in python directly through GObject introspection. For new applications, it is recommended to use the libatspi gobject-introspection binding directly, rather than using pyatspi. Going forward, pyatspi is unlikely to be actively maintained aside from fixing bugs.
