COM/CORBA/DCOP (was: Hello people. I have some questions)

[tooper]

Just my 10 cent.s contrib...

It seems many solution exist to directly connect COM & CORBA world 
(Orbixweb for ex.)
Morover, through various CORBA Python packages (Fnorb or PyOrbit for ex.), 
you may handle directly CORBA or COM objects in your Python app.
I don't know how DCOP mix with Python  - not a Gnome purist & quite like 
KDE, but just don't know ;-)
