Posters: Improving web accessibility with Python

Presented by:


Description

Accessibility is a big deal in web development, but it’s not always clear what Python developers can do to help make the web more accessible. Projects like Django and Wagtail are showing the way with dedicated accessibility teams. There’s also lots that can be done directly with Python.

Let’s look at practical applications of Python for accessibility!

  • Curlylint is a linter for HTML templates. With its Python parser, it moves automated accessibility checks from the realm of browser extensions, to static analysis on the command line.
  • With Python, advanced image analysis is within the reach of all web developers. We’ll demonstrate how this can be used to create state-of-the-art automated contrast enhancements for text over images.
