I too have had very good results using Python with CORBA.  However, beware
of interoperability issues, especially with proprietary ORBs.  CORBA is not
entirely as interoperable as one would hope.*  Do a few experiments if you
are writing Python/OmniORB clients to non-OmniORB servers, or vice versa.
