'Twas Red Hat. However, others claim to have spotted Python 2.0 in Rawhide
and supposedly both versions might be included until 8.0.

I hadn't noticed this. OmniORBpy compiles and runs just fine for me using
Python 2.0 and 2.1a2, except that it throws BAD_PARAM when passed Unicode
objects in place of strings.
