Linux support (backend='atspi' based on AT-SPI technology)

[vasily-v-ryabov]

This big feature implementation has been started. No due date for now.
@MagazinnikIvan just found a way to use libatspi.so directly using ctypes. So we will have atspi_functions and atspi_structures modules and this should NOT add any new dependencies!

Library reference for libatspi.so.

Just hope the API is stable enough as supporting constantly changing function signatures can be a nightmare

so what's the status of this feature? i'm forwarding to see this happen because many applications in server side running on Linux.

There's ongoing work in 'atspi' branch. Feature-wise It's still behind of windows backends, but it's stable enough. The atspi backend started by default on Linux. It's tested mostly against GTK applications. You could give it a try if you have time.
