What went wrong with your compile?

This means that you are using a more recent version of Python than the
one omniORBpy was compiled against. One solution is to downgrade your
Python to the previous version. The best solution is to recompile
omniORBpy against the Python version you have.

The root of the problem is that the internal Python API changes with
each major release so, in theory, extension modules like omniORBpy can
break. In practice, I've never seen it crash, but I haven't tried very
hard.

Duncan.
