RE: [Orbit-python-list] win32, orbit2 (separate questions)

[Riggs, R. <RR...@do...>]

Have you considered other architectural design options? It's fairly easy to
move Access tables into a relational database (PostgreSQL, for example), and
use ODBC table links to get at the data from within Access. You can then use
ODBC to access the database from both applications, and eliminate the need
for the additional CORBA middleware component. I think this is a lot less
work up front, and will be easier to maintain in the long run.

However, if you are stuck on using CORBA, have you considered omniORB? I've
used it under Linux and NT4, and find it much more stable than Orbit-python.

Subject: [Orbit-python-list] win32, orbit2 (separate questions)



I need to create a system for accessing an MS Access database from a
Linux server.  For a variety of reasons I've choosen to use python for
the implementation and use corba and odbc for middleware.  Obtaining
orbit and python-orbit for linux is familiar and easy; not a problem.
However, as usual, windows is a different story.  I need to use the
win32 build of python to access the win32 odbc driver.  Thus I can't
use gcc to build any other components that I need.  I managed to find
a win32 build of orbit (0.5.1), though haven't tested it yet (how can
I?).  I don't see any win32 builds of python-orbit, though.  I really
like python-orbit because of the dynamic IDL loading.  Does
python-orbit work on windows?  Can someone provide me with a binary
(for python 2.1 or 2.2)?  (no installer please, just the .dll or .pyd;
I can put it in sys.path myself)

I also don't see any mention of python-orbit for orbit2 (nor did I
find a win32 binary of orbit2).  Will python-orbit be provided for
orbit2?

TIA,
-D
