[LDTP-Dev] Using LDTP to make applications accessible

Hello,
Does LDTP have the ability for me to specify element types over my 
custom widgets to make them accessible?
I'm using
Kivy <http://kivy.org/#home>
which uses OpenGL.
I was googling for a way to become a UIA Provider in python and
This page came up 
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5487263/python-bindings-for-microsoft-ui-automation>
with Cobra as the top answer.
The person had no idea what he was answering, so I am asking if anyone 
else can address this issue.
UIA on windows is the updated version of Microsoft Active Accessibility 
which can be accessed by
PyAAPyAA <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyAA/2.0>
on windows.
To my knowledge, there is no package that focuses any documentation on 
making accessible elements with any of the new tools in python. They are 
all completely focused on automation (Which in my opinion is kind of 
silly if you can't even access the element in the first place).
It looks as if LDTP has this ability with the map module, but there is 
very little if no documentation that I can find on this.
If anyone can help that would be fantastic!
thanks,
