RE: [Orbit-python-list] Where are the constants?

Unless you need to interface with Gnome, I recommend that you consider
omniORBpy.  It is a much more robust CORBA implementation for Python than
either of the ORBit based ones.

Subject:	[Orbit-python-list] Where are the constants?

Dear orbit-python experts,

I'm new to python and new to orbit-python and heve the following simple
problem.
Given the simple.idl:

--- simple.idl -------

module M {
  interface my_I {
    const long my_const = 3;

    struct my_struct {
      long my_member[my_const];
    };

    long my_func
    (
       out my_struct my_out
    );
  };
};

--- end of simple.idl -------

Given the following session:

wsasd649:~ % python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Sep 12 2002, 16:24:44)
[GCC 3.1.1] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys,ORBit
>>> ORBit.load_file("simple.idl")
>>> dir()
['ORBit', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'sys']
>>> import M
>>> dir()
['M', 'ORBit', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'sys']
>>> dir(M)
['__doc__', '__name__', 'my_I']
>>> dir(M.my_I)
['__class__', '__cmp__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__getattribute__',
'__getstate__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__',
'__reduce__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__slots__', '__str__',
'__typecode__', '_duplicate', '_hash', '_is_a', '_is_equivalent',
'_is_nil', '_narrow', '_non_existent', 'my_func', 'my_struct']
>>>

I can find import module M and its content M.my_I, M.my_I.my_struct, and
M.my_I.my_func.

I havegot the following questions:
- WHERE has my_const gone? How can i access it?
- Do I need another import?
- Could there be placed an example on the internet that shows
  a simple idl and how to access its content within python.
- I know there are two freeware ORBit python bindings: pyORBit and
ORBit-python
  which one is the most mature, and why should I use it?

PS:  I am using pyORBit for the ORBit python binding

Thanks in advance,

Will Denissen.
