So yes, the focus information would be fairly easy to expose to the python UI test infrastructure.
And yes, it would be good to limit the number of different frameworks we use for testing (we already have 4 - C++ direct, C++ via UNO, Java via UNO, python via UNO) However, the current python UI test stuff talks directly to the vcl/ widgets. But between the vcl/ widgets and an actual accessibility user lies at least two major chunks of code - the generic accessibility/ stuff, and the operating system specific bridges. And it would be good to test those too, which this dogtail-based stuff would do. .... just laying out the pros and cons... :-)
