[BRLTTY] brlapi programming examples

[Mika Hanhijärvi]

Hello


I have not checked out yet what is in the brltty logs, but I just tried 
to run that same python code on my other laptop which is also running 
Debian Buster. On that laptop brltty version is 5.6. I got the same 
result so the same problem exists on both laptops and with both brltty 
5.6 and 6.0.



I am using Gnome desktop and I run that python code from terminal 
window. I have tried to disable braille feature in Orca settings but 
that did not make any difference. I will check out brltty logs tomorrow.
