Description Patrick 2007-11-21 06:47:06 UTC 
Try to use Application in script with pyatspi branch:

class EogApp(Application):
    def __init__(self):
        Application.not__init__(self, root.application("eog"))
        ...

Error output:

+ Trace 179063

  • File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/dogtail/tree.py", line 198 in not__init__ 
    self.__text = self.__accessible.getText()
AttributeError: 'Application' object has no attribute 'getText' 


There is not getText method, only have _getText.

Also not getEditableText() and getEditableText()

Zack prepended all methods which are not supposed to be used anymore with "not" So methods like not__init__, not__getattr__ and not_setattr__ are deprecated and should not be used. 

If you wonder if __init__ is missing, please see the end of tree.py:

Accessibility.Accessible.__bases__ = (Node,) + Accessibility.Accessible.__bases__
...

this line inserts Node into Accessible's base classes, so every Accessible automagically becomes a Node, and Accessible's __init__ is used.

The two __?etattr__ methods were replaced by properties.

Yes, the not_* methods are only still in svn to remind me of which functionality has yet to be ported over in the branch.
