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. - -Author: Jason Tackaberry <tack@linux.com> -WWW: http://orbit-python.sault.org/ - --- Johann Visagie <johann@egenetics.com> |
