I ran into the same problem.

My fix was to replace above in the same file the lines:

if hasattr(_omniidl, "__file__"):
    preprocessor_path = os.path.dirname(_omniidl.__file__)
else:
    preprocessor_path = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])

with just 

preprocessor_path = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])


At least on unix platforms that should always work.  I'm not sure about 
Windows.
