[omniORB] Trouble accessing existing CORBA service from Python

I've just started using omniORBpy and see a lot of potential for developing
a test suite in Python to exercise CORBA based services.

One problem I've run into is that some enums used between client and server
were implemented in .h files.  Good or bad, this was done to get around the
CORBA IDL restriction that enums can not be assigned values.  

What possibilities exist for accessing the enums of a .h file from a Python
script?

Is there anything like the Perl h2ph facility that converts .h files into
Perl modules?

Or an ImportH equivalent to the handy ImportIDL facility of omniORBpy?

Thanks,

Joel
