should support CORBA.ORB_ID
Last modified: 2005-12-03 12:17:27 UTC
Distribution/Version: Debian unstable Quoting "W. Borgert" <debacle@debian.org>: "While it seems to be a non-standard extension, most other Python ORBs have CORBA.ORB_ID. python-orbit has 'orbit-local-orb', omniORBpy has 'omniORB4', Fnorb has 'The ORB called Fnorb v1.1.Return.of.Fnorb'. The CORBA.ORB_ID is useful, if writing an application in an ORB agnostic way."
pyorbit already makes the orb id parameter of CORBA.ORB_init() optional. It makes no sense IMHO to have CORBA.ORB_ID because ORBit supports several ORB IDs. It does make sense to have a default one, which is already supported by omitting the parameter. Maybe other ORBs should do the same.
