I'm a 100% certain that you don't need or even more so _can't_ glue together 
pyQt-classes and omniorb-classes

For starters, CORBA is backend, Qt (mostly) GUI, the non-GUI-parts aren't so 
interesting in python. So unless you show me some example I'm not convinced 
that that is what you really need - on the contrary, it's a code smell.

Secondly, unless you use a very outdated PyQt, sip generates new-style classes 
which omniOrb can't use as implementations, courtesy to it's python 1.5 
backwards compatibility. One could debate the need for that, but it is as it 
is.
