Sean, I am also what some of us refer to as a blindie, and, AFAIK, wxPython
is roundabout the best framework to make use of for use/compatibility with
screen readers/MSAA,
and, while have in past primarily used the LBC (layoub by code) wxPython
wrapper module to quickly
generate simple/small UI's, I am now trying to get going using wxPython
properly/itself.
If I may ask, what do you use to edit your python code, etc.? I use
edSharp, which is a sort of blind programmers text editor, created by Jamal
Masry - if tht name means much to you.
Stay well

Subject: Re: [python-win32] Win32 GUI for beginners.
All,
thanks for the information. I will look into it. In relation to Tim's
comment. The reason why I want to stick to Win32 API's is because I am
blind. The screen reader which allows me to use the computer does not work
with Xwindow style widgets. They have to be native Windows style objects.
That is the challenge I have in front of me in finding a GUI library that
works with my screen reader.
I do have some knowledge of Event driven, OOPS programming. But it is very
basic and normally I use other peoples codes. :-)
I am in the middle of writing a Telnet app to send a huge config to my
router which is one of my learning steps. :-)

I want to caution you that you have an awful lot of fundamental concepts
to get down before you're ready to tackle something like this. You have
to learn the Python language, which means learning the concepts of
class-based and object-oriented programming. After getting
straight-line programming, you'll have to learn the concepts of
event-driven programming, which is the paradigm used by all of the
modern GUIs. Then, you'll need to learn the idiosyncracies of whatever
GUI library you choose, all of which make compromises to mate with the
variations in the operating systems they support.
I want to create a GUI windows app with Python. The program has to use
default Windows 32 or 64 bit objects.
I'm curious to know what you meant by that. Do you simply mean you
don't want to buy any components? Because essentially all of the major
Python GUI toolkits have their own library of components that are vastly
simpler to use than the SDK components.
If you REALLY just want to write an MFC program in Python, it's possible
to do that using pywin32, but it's not really very Python-like.
