This is current solution, but it is quite new and actively developed, so newer
versions are sometimes not compatibile with old ones. So if you use
distribution
provided packages (eg Debian) you can have troubles after system upgrade and
regenerating stub.

But after you have generated files it is easy to use that tool -- just call a
function and grab result.
With ZSI you don't have to generate code, but you will have to do more coding
to
invoke a call.

No -- you don't have to read WSDL at all! Just make somebody else do it for
you.
SOAP is just about sending and receiving text, but you have to keep that
properely formated. You don't have to use automation of WSDL and XML parsing.
For example visit:
http://soapclient.com/soaptest.html
put your wsdl file address, click Retrieve. Then fill forms and see what is
response and reply -- they will be your templates. Then write simple Python
programs with socks sending and receiving templates on http (or https) port. If
you gave me your wsdl file address I could probably give more precise help.
