My go-to answer would have been: To talk to CORBA, use PyORBit. However, the latest commit is from 7 years ago:
https://github.com/GNOME/pyorbit
I did do some CORBA in uni, and however you do it, it's a big hassle. And that was back when GNOME was still based on CORBA, so things like ORBit were up-to-date. These days, I'm assuming getting things done is even more difficult.
Probably the CORBA solutions that still work and are updated are proprietary SDKs for C++. He probably needs to look into that. If the customer for this thesis are using CORBA, maybe they already have a license for something.
I wish this student all the luck, and hope the summer is enough to make some progress on this project.
