PYTH — Python Issue: TypeCode constants?

Are type code constants generated by the IDL compiler, and if so are they
available for use by developers (ie, not implementation specific)?

If type code constants are not available, then developers have to rememeber
the repository ids of certain IDL declarations (python-noops like typedef) in
order to get a typecode from CORBA.TypeCode (since CORBA.id is most likely no
help in this instance).

I propose that type code constants be made available to developers using some
standardized naming scheme (_tc_XXX?).
