[omniORB] Python Client Question

[Glenn A. Hochberg]

One of the beauties of CORBA is that clients and servants can be implemented in any language with an appropriate mapping and ORB; their implementations are independent.

You take the IDL file for your CORBA interface and pass it to omniORBpy's IDL compiler, as per the documentation.  The fact that the server-side is in C++ is irrelevant.
