Thank you Jeff.
It would be wonderful if Tk would be accessible, because it is the prefered
GUI library for many programmers.
Hope that improvement won't be too hard to make.

Unfortunately it is absolutely inaccessible for screen
readers, and the
programs created with it cannot be used by the blind computer users.
Do you know if there are at least intentions to make it accessible?
Yes, there are intentions, but I couldn't give you any timeline. Tk is
MSAA
(Microsoft Active Accessibility) 1.0 compliant, and the screen readers and
some other newer features require 2.0 compliance. The newer version
requires
the develop of a COM component for interaction between Tk and the relevant
accessor apps.
