  It can.  It does.  In fact, there's no "new" IDL, everything is
parsed at runtime.  Except server-side, of course, since you still
need to write the code for the classes :-)

Not that I know of.  GNORBA is in the TODO list, though.

Sounds great. The available PyORBit isn't much use anyway since as near as I 
can tell, it can only understand CORBA objects which were compiled into it. I 
assume ORBit-Python can take in new IDL at runtime?
