[omniORB] Can't run OmniPy out of the box? (_omniidl module problem)

[Keeping, Benjamin]

To answer your question, I want to use both Python and C++ eventually, but my initial focus is Python.

Thanks, I may try what you suggest - in the meantime though I have started looking at ICE, and found it rather easier to get started with. This is despite years of experience using omniORB from C++.

What would your comments be on the comparison of the two?

Ben

Are you using omniORB from Python or C++ or both?  The problem you are
encountering is that the binary omniORB distribution contains a cut-down
version of the ancient Python 1.5.2 for the IDL compiler.

If you install both the omniORB and omniORBpy binary distributions, you
must make sure your path is set such that C++ code and C++ IDL
compilation only sees the bin\x86_win32 directory in the omniORB
distribution and that Python code and Python IDL compilation only sees
the bin\x86_win32 directory in the omniORBpy distribution.

The problem you're seeing is that you have mixed the libraries from the
two separate binary distributions.
