The TypeCode interface is defined in the CORBA 2.0
specification [1] and is mapped to Python in the usual
manner. Similarly, typecode constants for all of the standard IDL
datatypes are defined in the CORBA module. The typecodes
for user-defined types are accessed using the method
CORBA.typecode(). The CORBA.typecode() method
takes a single parameter that is the interface repository identifier
of a user-defined type, and returns its corresponding typecode.
e.g. Using the enumeration example from section
:
Module Example {
enum color {red, green, blue};
};
The typecode for the color enumeration can be accessed and used as follows:
>>> from Fnorb.orb import CORBA
>>> import Example
>>> tc = CORBA.typecode(`IDL:dstc.edu.au/Example/color:1.0')
>>> tc
<TypeCode.EnumTypeCode instance at adae0)
>>> for i in range(tc.member_count()):
... print tc.member_name(i)
...
red
green
blue
