ObjectId is a sequence<octet>. The C++ mapping (not the CORBA core)
specifies the string_to_ObjectId() and ObjectId_to_string() functions
to help with the common case that the sequence is actually a string.

In Python, the mapping of sequence<octet> is already string, so there
is no need for conversion functions. Just use strings wherever the IDL
says ObjectId, and it will work fine.

Cheers,

Duncan.
