[omniORB] CORBA.TypeCode() on enum fails in omniorbpy

[Andrew Edem]

Hello,

It does not seem possible to use CORBA.TypeCode() on enum definitions
from stubs. I think this is because the python type of the enum
definition is an instance while omniORB expects it to be a class.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or by design, and I have no idea
where the "right" place to fix it would be.

Thanks,
-Andrew


test.idl:

module Test {
  enum TestEnum {
    TEST_VALUE1,
    TEST_VALUE2
  };
};


test.py:

import Test
from omniORB import CORBA
import logging

print "Type of enum: ", `type(Test.TestEnum)`

try:
  print "Enum type code by object: ", `CORBA.TypeCode(Test.TestEnum)`
except:
  logging.exception("Getting type code by class failed")

try:
  print "Enum type code by string: ", \
    `CORBA.TypeCode("IDL:Test/TestEnum:1.0")`
except:
  logging.exception("Getting type code by string failed")


output:
