Sorry it took me ages to reply to this. For what you're trying to do,
you only need to look at the Python code for the omniidl back-end. It's
in omniORBpy/omniidl_be/python.py.

If you add it as an option, I'll include it in the distribution. I
wouldn't want to make it the default because it increases the size of
the stubs, and it's not part of the CORBA mapping spec.

Cheers,

Duncan.
