Yes, I understand this completely, I just read "Python Language Mapping"
from Martin Chilvers, Bill Janssen and Martin von Löwis, version 97-11-03 
(maybe a bit old, but I only found this). There is the mapping from
octet to int and the mapping from sequence to list described, but the
exception sequence<octet> is not written down.

My test now works fine with strings, I could even call the server from a
C-client running the orbit and it works.

Thank You.
