[omniORB] Trying to get omniidl to work for python..

[Kiernan J Holland]

Is it true that OmniORB requires Visual C++ to compile?  Also 
where is this OmniORBPy archive, where is there links pointing at 
the file saying "This is what you want".  You know, if they really want 
people to use this stuff there are ways it could be made easier and they 
wouldn't have so many newbies bugging them up here.
At least they could put up a webpage with links to "what you need" and 
some process describing what to do. I spent all day yesterday trying to
get OmniORBPy to 
work, and that was company time. Alebit a medical company, and I don't
suppose 
it matters if people are dieing from lack of proper access to
information.
Well this is not your problem, I just wish I could get the idea across,
in particular to the OMG which prefers to name their documents and idls
with the "date" instead of 
the name, do they think its cool to be cryptic or something?
