Does a PVM (Python Virtual Maschine) exists ?

Python's virtual machine (VM) is part of the shared-library
(.DLL on Windows, .so on Linux and most Unix versions, etc)
that is named python20 for Python 2.0.  You can feed a compiled
Python bytecode file (foo.pyc) at the VM via the python
executable (python.exe on Windows, just python on Unix),
or any other custom executable that will load and suitably
initialize the VM.  The same DLL/so also houses the compiler
and other tidbits, but that shouldn't be a problem, as it's
not too large anyway.

I'm not sure how this is relevant to your objective and concerns:

I'm not sure what you mean by "the ORB protocoll" (CORBA?  Python
does support several existing CORBA ORB's), but this should surely
be feasible.
