Are there any good web accessibility checkers for python? We have received some really helpful feedback from blind and visually impaired people and I wanted to honor their time by adding tests to prevent regression, and i am finding I am wanting to write a bunch of the WCAG guidelines as selenium tests in pytest. I know that a lot of the guidelines can't necessarily be automated, but stuff like "all images have alt, headers are in correct order and start at h1, buttons have labels," etc. Can be. I figured there should be some tool that I can point at a webpage and be like "tell me whats busted here" like I can to some extent with the Firefox accessbility properties inspector but am not finding any. Any tips?
