[pyorbit] Re: pyorbit

[James Henstridge]

I have just subscribed to the list.  I don't know how much help I can be
though -- I am not that experienced with the use of corba.

My only background is the parts of the pdf CORBA-2.2 docs available from
www.omg.org I have read (not much though -- it is almost 1000 pages long),
and looking at some of the GNOME source code that uses it.

As for some ideas, I think we may be able to swipe some ideas from Owen
Taylor's CORBA-MICO perl package.  It provides stubless interface support
on both client and server ends.  If we can get stubless client interfaces
working, pyorbit would become a very useful as a generic scripting engine
for GNOME and other CORBA based systems.

More information about the perl CORBA-MICO bindings are available from:
  http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=CORBA-MICO

I think ORBit has most of what is needed for the stubless client
interfaces -- DII and the interface repository.

James.
