I'd always suggest it as the primary route. Whether you chose Fnorb,
omniORBpy or ILU on the "C" end of things makes still alternatives; on
the Java end, there is also a number of alternative ORBs (although
java-IDL is what comes with JDK, so that may be easiest to use).

I don't think doing JRMI in Python is easy - even if you'd use
RMI-IIOP and Fnorb. Others will propose a SOAP/XML or XML-RPC
protocol; that is a matter of beliefs.
