I'd love to see Python support in ORBit. In fact I'd be prepared to write
it, but I don't know where to begin. I've looked at some of the links off
the ORBit web page, and have a loose idea what CORBA actually is. Can
anybody recommend any further reading?

PS: There's already an ORB for python called fnorb. How easy/impossible is
it to get two different ORBs talking? That might be easier.
