This is wrong. _objref_Camera is a private implementation detail of
omniORBpy. You should not refer to it.

The correct code is

         client = cameraObj._narrow(gri.Camera)

Also, it's not generally a good idea to do a catch-all except statement,
because it's easy to accidentally mask errors without seeing what they
are. I'd suggest catching CORBA.Exception or CORBA.SystemException and
printing the exception out.

I'm not sure why that's happening. Removing the catch-all except might
help by revealing what the exception was.

Do the omniORBpy echo examples work for you?  If not, there's something
fundamentally wrong with your omniORBpy build. If they do work, the
problem is something related to what your code is doing. Please create a
minimal example of your code that shows the problem and post the
complete thing.

Cheers,

Duncan.
