You should read the Python mapping specification, from

  http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ptc/00-01-12

which explains how out arguments are mapped. Unlike most OMG
specifications, the Python mapping is actually quite easy to
understand.


To use NamingContext::list(), you should do

  blist, biterator = rootContext.list(5)

blist is now a sequence of Names with at most 5 elements; biterator is
a (possibly nil) BindingIterator reference which you can use to
retrieve the rest of the context's elements.

HTH,

Duncan.
