omniORB is a wayfast and fairly complete CORBA implementation. It has Python bindings, making it a decent rapid prototyping tool.

AT&T Laboratories Cambridge is pleased to announce that the second pre-release of omniORBpy is now available for download. omniORBpy is a robust and efficient implementation of the CORBA Python mapping.

The most significant update from pre-release 1 is that omniORBpy now has full POA support, when used in conjunction with omniORB 3 (which is also in pre-release). omniORBpy can also be used with omniORB 2.8, in which case most POA functions are disabled.

We run omniORBpy on Linux, Solaris and Windows NT, and it has already been ported to a number of other platforms. It should be easy to port to any other platform for which omniORB and Python are available. Although this is a pre-release, the ORB has no known bugs, and is in daily use in our lab.
