AFAIK, there are no ORBit bindings for python yet (at least not in CVS).
The pyIDL module in the GNOME CVS tree is simply a wrapper for the IDL
library.  I think it was going to be used for the C++ IDL compiler.  If
there are python ORBit bindings, I would love to know where they are as
well.

The bits where pygnome links with ORBit is through wrapper libraries
(panel applets and control center capplets) -- no CORBA stuff is actually
directly used.  It would be nice to have proper ORBit bindings so that the
GOAD stuff is available (imagine scripting gnumeric from a separate
process in python).  Bindings for ORBit are required before you can look
at things like GDOME, and may be required for bonobo (the OLE like
embedding code).
