How good is CORBA?

[Michael S]

I learned CORBA many years ago. If I am not mistaken
it had two main principles/purposes. One being
language neutrality and the other one to make
client/server type of programming easier (replacing
Remote Procedure Call??).
If you are using Python only, language neutrality
doesn't really help. You said you're writing web-based
applications, and you didn't specify whether you had
client/server interaction, so I don't know whether you
need it or not.
For code reuse (if that's the issue) you could use
subclassing and/or putting stuff into modules.

Hope I made some sense.
