*VERY* good point! For example,

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/81254

has an example of Corba-with-Python which really highlights how simple
Python makes Corba -- the example is given for omniORBpy but I would
hope that doing it in Fnorb (or, half and half to highlight the degree
of interoperability that Corba guarantees!) should be just as easy.
