Several Corba ORB's support Python.  At http://www.fnorb.org you'll
find a Corba 2.0 ORB implemented in Python.

http://www.python.org/sigs/do-sig/ is the home of the Python
Distributed Objects special-interest group (SIG).  Several
distributed-object systems have been developed in Python, e.g.
Hector, see:
http://www.python.org/workshops/1996-06/papers/d.arnold/paper.html
and DOPY, see http://www.users.cloud9.net/~proteus/dopy/welcome.html.

Python also supports the new SOAP protocol, see e.g.
http://www.pythonware.com/products/soap/
and can be used productively to integrate it with other
existing protocols such as Corba or COM, see e.g.
http://www.biopython.org/~dalke/lye/
