Glyph on Nostr: TIL Tkinter (and in fact, all of Tcl/Tk) is completely inaccessible to screen ...
TIL Tkinter (and in fact, all of Tcl/Tk) is completely inaccessible to screen readers, so if you make apps for it, you're excluding blind users. This is a huge disappointment as I was really starting to find that it is a super handy little tool for form-based applications with few dependencies, always accessible to Python.
It is … bizarre that it is 2024 and this hasn't been fixed yet. Has nobody blundered into an ADA issue here?
