[oats-sig] webcam mouse movement = mouseTrap

Well, pyatspi is used for several things:

hmm, interesting, how so as you are simulating the the mouse?

I guessed that, I wonder if driving X might be better in the long run
but don't know the issues. Will Walker has worked on X and pyatspi so
may give us some info.

Yes that is currently the platform dependent bit if you use UI widget sets etc.
IAccessibile2 basically extends MSAA on windows to be very similar in
semantics to AT-SPI.
For now you need to create other code and no one has yet done it
(though NVDA uses IA2 with Python).
A port of pyatspi to 1A2 has been dreamed about ;-)

Yeh I know the feeling. Sometimes it good to overcome that and release
early as it can save you work in the long run if some spots something
or has an idea ;-)

will do :-)
