Hi,
if you have any code I would certainly be interested - I would be using 2.2 I think (might as well start up to date). Python.org seem to keep things upto date pretty well - or are you using a different release?.
Good luck with CORBA - I moved our application at work to it recently (from Java RMI). It works well but it can be pretty heavy going. Not sure if I would want to use it with PD unless I was doing a big distributed installation - in which case it would be ideal.
cheers

hi
i had a python external written for an installation i did two years ago. the reason i never published it was that the author does not maintain the package, and i had lost the source (...). but just last night i found it on my old notebook - back from 'service' after more than one year, now completely broken but for the harddrive, to hell with gericom! anyway, it works fine, the python thingy, that is... (had it running in an installation for 6 consecutive months), is not complete (not all pd types are supported), restricted to python1.5 and since the interpreter runs inside pd it can block. let me know if you're interested. i can send you the code or post a link here.
and just to wet your appetites: there's a corba external coming up.
