[omniORB] Using enums as index into sequence types

[Will Denissen]

Dear Duncan,

Is it possible to extend the omniorb python language mapping such that enum
values can be used as an index of a sequence type, by
exploiting the new python 2.5 __index__ extension. It would allow me to do
something as shown below.

class EnumItem:
  def __init__(self, n, v):
    self._n = n
    self._v = v

  def __repr__(self):
    return self._n

  def __index__(self):
    return self._v

e1 = EnumItem('e1', 1)
e2 = EnumItem('e2', 3)

a = ['a','b','c','d']

print e1, a[e1], a[e1:e2]


Best regards,

Will Denissen
