[omniORB] omniORBpy Exception Question (and omniidl exception patch).

I'm fairly new to CORBA and omniORBpy, and have a question about the Python stubs generated by omniidl.

Why do the stubs generated by omniidl inherit from class Exception in the standard Python module exceptions.py, but the generated __init__ methods fail to call the __init__ method (exceptions.Exception.__init__) in the class they inherit from?

I've attached a patch for the omniidl Python back-end (omniORB 3.0 or 2.8) which seems to correct this, but I'm curious if it is the 'right thing' to do?

Thanks in advance,

- Randy
