Hi Peter,

we have an example using Python and XmlRpc in

  xmlBlaster/demo/python

Using XmlRpc with scripting languages is much simpler
than using CORBA.

With CORBA (omniORBpy) i don't know if anybody has tried.
If you still want to use CORBA (omniORBpy) the steps are
usually like:

1. The server does not need any change, JacORB is configured
   and this should be OK as is.

2. On Client side you need

  - compile the xmlBlaster.idl
  - Program some Python code which uses the generated CORBA stubs
    (This is what you need to do, usually you should first
     look at some omniORBpy demo clients how it is done)

3. Start the server and start your Python client

best regards
