I knew this problem was coming...

What I would suggest is to add a function to the omniORBpy C++ api
(see include/omniORBpy.h in the omniORBpy tree) that allows you to
register additional functions / objects that try to narrow pseudo
objects. That way, createPyPseudoObjRef can consult a list of
registered converters if its built in ones don't work.

In the next week or so, I intend to finish off the omniORB 4.0.1 /
omniORBpy 2.1 releases, so if you could come up with a suggested patch
in the next few days, that would be good. I might get around to doing
it myself.

Cheers,

Duncan.
