Hi OmniORBers,

Since nobody could provide me with binaries of OmniORB302 +
omniORBpy_1_2 compiled for Windows and working with python 2.0 (that's
the main point), I eventually did that by myself using VC++6 (and it
took several hours!).

The resulting directory is huge (>300Mo), so I removed the .lib, .exp
and .o files not required for Python use, and I got a  52 Mo file, that
once zipped is reduced to 13.2 Mo.
I could further shrink the set of files to the minimum needed by a
Python user and make some kind of WISE installer, but I have no time so
far. Anyway, you can:

- download the zipped file at this address:
http://rgruet.free.fr/omni302_python20.zip
- unzip it, it will create an 'omni' directory under the directory you
specify; assume <OMNI> is the root install directory for OmniORB (eg:
D:\omni).
- Add omniORB to your PATH: PATH += <OMNI>\bin\x86_win32
- Add OmniORB to the Python PATH; my preferred method on Windows is to
create a new key in the registry:
  under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.0\PythonPath,
simply create a new key 'OmniORB' (the name doesn't matter) and set its
default value to "<OMNI>\lib\python\;<OMNI>\lib\x86_win32". Of course,
you need a valid Python 2.0 interpreter installed somewhere before being
able to do that! You can't find one at

Hope this helps,
