Thanks for the answer. However when I configure && make && make install 
omniORBpy with Python2.5, it gets copied to the correct path 
("/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/omniORB"), but import omniORB 
in python2.5 shell still accesses the package for python2.6. Which 
happens because my PYTHONPATH is by default set to 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/".
Anyway, this seems to me to be rather an Ubuntu issue - trouble with 
multiple co-exisitng Python versions.
