I'm lost in what you are testing: previously you were saying that you
were running from a screen session started from an ssh connexion... If
you are not telling the whole story, we cannot provide proper answers.

But to answer the question, if you have a brltty with the a2 driver
running, that one will claim priority because it have particularly good
screen reading capabilities.

You may thus want to increase your own priority, to take over the brltty
screen reading with

b.setParameter(brlapi.PARAM_CLIENT_PRIORITY, 0, False, 100)

But this is _pure_ guesswork, and divination is a hard thing to achieve.

This would provide us with the exact information we need to understand
what problem you are facing, without having to exchange various mails.
