=>CORBA.tk_string is the TypeCode kind for string, not the TypeCode
=>itself. The TypeCode is CORBA.TC_string.

   Ah. Actually, this means the code I'm writing at the moment is
wrong, as I was using TCKinds instead of TypeCodes. Thanks.

=>The relevant bit of section 1.3.8 of the Python mapping is the third
=>sentence: "In addition, the type code constants defined in section
=>10.7.2 are available as Python variables in the module CORBA, with the
=>names given in section 10.7.2."  I agree that it doesn't exactly make
=>it clear.
