The IPython Console Plugin allows real-time interaction with a selected item in the Application Tree View. Since the IPython Console Plugin is an interactive Python shell, you can import any Python modules you want.
Make sure you have the standalone package IPython installed in your system. Otherwise, the IPython Console Plugin will not work properly.
To run the IPython Console Plugin, select one of the accessible items listed in the Application Tree View - either an application or a widget. In the plugin, the selected item will correspond to the variable 'acc'.
Pressing Tab shows completions for the current command in the console, what can be useful for discovering pyatspi methods.
Typing help(acc) in the IPython Console Plugin shows some useful documentation about the corresponding selected accessible item.
