[omniORB] Newbie: Compiling problems omniORB-4.0.5 using Cygwin, WinXP, MS VC7.0

[Yura Smolsky]

Hello, Roland.

To fix this problem:
1. I have copied module "types.py" in the Python's lib directory to
the "types1.py"
2. I have replaced following line in the "copy_reg.py" of Python's lib
dir:

from types import ClassType as _ClassType

to

from types1 import ClassType as _ClassType

that's all. try and response here :)

RG> sorry for the late reply, I had been away over the holiday period.

RG> Yes, Python works when called from the command line.
