I agree, but as you see, you can use that; let him tell you the status of the flags is not all that complicated, and in the end what is functional and accessible to the end user.

This isn't quite accurate. In your code, you explicitly tell NVDA to read the words "checked" and "unchecked" after a 100ms delay, specifically because wx.CheckListBox has accessibility problems. Don't take this the wrong way - I'm sure your solution works well enough and most users don't care how a checkbox is made accessible as long as they could use it. But it's a bit misleading to say that wx.CheckListBox is accessible without further explanation of what hacks are required to make it so.
