[omniORB] IDL to Python language mapping update?

[Brian Neal]

Hello -

Is anyone interested in collaborating on updating the IDL to Python
language mapping? As you all probably know, the mapping is very old,
and Python has changed a lot over the years since the original mapping
was released. My company is going to be working with CORBA for the
foreseeable future, and I'd sure like to do that work in Python 3.x if
possible.

I'm not a member of the OMG, and I have no idea what it takes to get a
new spec approved, but I reason this group has the best chance of
making that happen (if it indeed can happen). I'd be willing to help
write, review, and work the document through the process. I'm by no
means an expert on all aspects of CORBA and Python, but I have solid
experience in both.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Brian Neal
