SOAP client

[mk]

Hi,

I'm trying to consume a SOAP web service using Python. So far I have
found two libraries: SOAPpy and ZSI. Both of them rely on PyXML which
is no longer maintained (and there is no build for 64bit Windows and
the setup.py doesn't seem to know how to build it on Windows). Is
there a live SOAP library for Python? I'm sort of surprised that a
common standard like SOAP is not more actively supported in Python.
I'm probably missing something?

Thanks,
m

For consuming services, I've found suds to be the best client:
https://fedorahosted.org/suds/

For creating them, I've been using soaplib:

Yes, thank you, Suds worked for me.
Kind of weird how it is not in the google results for obvious searches.
