Fnorb is a CORBA 2.0 object request broker (ORB) written in Python. It supports all CORBA 2.0 datatypes (including Any's) and provides a full implementation of IIOP. Fnorb is Python and CORBA/IDL specific which makes it simple, light-weight and easy to use. Fnorb is ideal for prototyping complex CORBA architectures, for use as a scripting tool, and for building test harnesses for CORBA development projects. Fnorb is being developed at the CRC for Distributed Systems Technology based at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. WWW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fnorb
