ORBit-Python provides Python bindings for ORBit, an open source CORBA
|
|
2.2-compliant Object Request Broker.
|
|
|
|
To paraphrase the README:
|
|
|
|
ORBit-Python makes full use of the fact that Python is a dynamically typed
|
|
language. It not only does away with the need for an IDL compiler, but
|
|
takes the dynamic approach one step further by automatically discovering
|
|
available IDL modules and transparently loading them when the corresponding
|
|
modules get imported. When the IDL files are loaded, the appropriate
|
|
objects and classes are created dynamically.
|
|
|
|
Most of the ORBit types are implemented, with the exception of the fixed
|
|
and long double types. (Wide types are partially supported and currently
|
|
experimental.) Also, only a fairly small subset of the POA is implemented.
|
|
|
|
Considerable effort has been taken to adhere to the Python Language Mapping
|
|
Specification and remain compatible with other Python ORBs.
