That registers factories for the Python side. I wanted to make sure you
have factories registered on the TAO side.

That should indeed cause omniORBpy to always send at least one repoid,
which might make TAO happier.

What exactly does TAO do?  In what way are the others garbage?

One thought is that perhaps TAO doesn't properly support the chunked
valuetype encoding. omniORBpy always uses chunking when it sends values,
since it's awkward to decide whether it's necessary or not. You could
try an experiment of sending a value from C++ omniORB to TAO, since that
only uses chunking when it really has to.

Cheers,

Duncan.
