I came across an interesting question on Stackoverflow_, which was essentially
`How to install omniORBpy in a virtualenv`_? I've had a lot of experience with
omniORB_, a high quality, open-source CORBA ORB, at work. omniORB is a C++ ORB,
but it also includes omniORBpy, a thin Python_ wrapper around the C++ core.
Despite using omniORBpy extensively, I had never used it in a virtualenv_.

So I got curious, and gave it a shot. You can read `my answer`_, which the
questioner accepted. I'd love to hear of any better ways of doing it. I worked
it out for Ubuntu, but a Windows solution would be nice to see also.
