[omniORB] Using omniidl and Windows COM

[Craig Rodrigues]

Hi,

I have an idea for something I want to try, and I was wondering
if I could get some feedback as to how difficult
it would be.

I want to:

- use the omniidl code to parse a list of CORBA idl files,
  and somehow give me a list of all the valid interfaces
  and the signatures of each interface.
  This list could be given as plain text, or some kind
  of data structure which I could manipulate

- run this code within a Windows COM object, maybe using
  the techniques outlined in:
http://www.python.org/windows/win32com/COMTutorial/index.htm

- have a general Windows COM object which can be used to
  parse CORBA IDL

What would I have to do with omniidl to get this to work?

Thanks.
