This came from the GNOME update report. Apparently, a Python backend to ORBit/CORBA may be just around the corner. Something to think about. ORBit 0.4.90 === Elliot made a new release of ORBit; this has the rewritten IDL compiler, complete with a modular backend system so stubs can be generated for multiple languages. I noticed on orbit-list that Brian Wallis has already fixed a couple of bugs and coded up an Eiffel backend - language backends can't be too hard to write, so maybe we'll see a lot of them in short order.
