Package: python-orbit
Version: 0.3.1-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

recently I tried to use CORBA´s discriminated union types
with python-orbit and had several problems with this.
The most serious one is the following.

The "Python Language Mapping Specification" (OMG document 01-02-66)
says on page 1-6:

    Union types are mapped to classes with two attributes.
    The first is the discriminant _d, the second the associated value _v.
    For each branch, there is an additional attribute, which
    can only be accessed if the branch has been set. [...]

Python-orbit does not follow this specification.
It uses "d" and "v" (without the underscore) as the names for
discriminant and value.  And the "additional attribute" is
simple not there.  Consequently all examples from page 1-7
of the specification (and my own program, too) do not work
with python-orbit.

I see that it may be some work to implement the
additional-attribute-stuff, but the the names for discriminant
and value really should be corrected.

Jochen
