[omniORB] omniORBPy breaks when IDL modules are named identically to native Python modules

[David Fugate]

Hi, I think a developer I work with has discovered a bug in omniORBPy 
(2.6). Essentially we have an IDL module given a name identical to a 
native Python module ('exec'). Within this IDL module, a couple of enums 
are defined. As soon as I try to import the Python CORBA stubs (which 
are correctly placed in "_exec"), it seems there are problems importing 
the individual enumerations which are missing an '_'. Is this a bug?

Thanks,

David Fugate
