If, for example, I change line 10 in the example/echo/example_echo_srv.py so
that the Echo_i class is also derived from 'object' (so that it becomes a
new-style class):

10 class Echo_i (Example__POA.Echo, object):

When I run the script I get :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "example_echo_srv.py", line 25, in ?
    eo = ei._this()
  File "g:\source\omni4\omni\lib\python\PortableServer.py", line 80, in _this
    sys.modules["PortableServer"] = omniORB.PortableServer
