[Bug 1099309] [NEW] [Quantal and Raring] Brltty native braille support doesn't work with Orca

[Attila Hammer]

Hy Samuel,

I have got a good news:
The Debian Sid awailable version wonderful working my Ubuntu 13.04 
system. I simple download the deb package related source files, install 
the missing build dependencies and build the package from source.
I think this version not using Cithon when building Python bindings.
Sure by sure I change the /etc/default/brltty file the 
START_IN_INITRAMFS setting from false to true, and ran update-initramfs 
-u command. Testing purpose I used the 4.4-8 package version.
Before this changes, restart and shutdown operations little slow my 
system (about 10-13 second). Now, my system the restart and shutdown 
operation done about maximum three second.

What the next step? Not matter if need entire installing my Ubuntu 
Raring system and try this changes the Ubuntu Raring original awailable 
package version (remove Cithon related patch, switch back Python binding 
build with python-pyrex) and test a package build.

  Orca

Bug description:
  Dear Developers,

  In Ubuntu Quantal and Ubuntu Raring if I enabling Orca with braille support, the Orca's debug.out file I see following traceback error message:
  BrlTTY seems to have disappeared:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/orca/braille.py", line 1720, in _brlAPIKeyReader
      key = _brlAPI.readKey(False)
    File "brlapi.pyx", line 535, in brlapi.Connection.readKey (brlapi.auto.c:6558)
  brlapi.OperationError: <unprintable OperationError object>

  If I remember right an oldest I opened thread with Brltty mailing
  list, this problem related the Python3 Brltty bindings.

  I attaching the Orca debug.out file.
