Because of the way Python extension modules work, you have to use a
version of omniORBpy compiled for the right version of Python. The
binaries of omniORBpy 2.7 are compiled for Python 2.4, so they only work
with that.

To use it with other versions of Python, you must recompile omniORBpy to
match the Python version.

Cheers,

Duncan.
