+PyORBit is a binding for the ORBit2 CORBA ORB. It aims to be
+compatible with the Python language mapping standard, implementing
+both the client side and server side bindings. PyORBit is capable of
+calling methods of in-process ORBit servers implemented in C, and
+being called by C code.

+Requires ORBit2, available at SlackBuilds.org

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
