Any pointers on using Python with CORBA?

Sure. There is an OMG-adopted language mapping, at
http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/python_language_mapping.htm
There are a number of implementations of that mapping as well. In order
of appearance:
ILU:          ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/ilu.html
Fnorb:        http://www.fnorb.com/
omniORBpy:    http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/
orbit-python: http://orbit-python.sault.org/
[They look like they are ordered by increasing name length :-]
These implementations differ in ease-of-installation, degree of
conformance to the mapping spec (or to CORBA Core), additional
features offered, performance, portability, and so on.
Discussion of CORBA and Python typically takes place on the DO SIG,
