You're right. The example is broken. In fact, it's broken in lots of
ways. In addition to what you point out about the operation name, the
line which reads

  tc = Corba.TypeCode("M::S")

should actually read

  tc = CORBA.TypeCode("IDL:M/S:1.0")

or perhaps better

  tc = CORBA.TypeCode(CORBA.id(M.S))

You should send an email to issues@omg.org, outlining what's wrong and
what to do to fix it. It's a good idea to Cc python-ftf@omg.org too.

Cheers,

Duncan.
