Thanks Duncan, this solved my problem!

The problem was that I only installed a minimal python downloaded from
the omniorb website only to build omniorb. I was trying to use the
omniifr interface repository. Omniifr adds another backend to omniidl,
but that backend apparently requires a full python install and a full
omnipy install. 

Thanks again!
