Give pysimplesoap a try; you can point it at the wsdl endpoint, and it will provide you a client that lets you call methods in about as obvious a manner as you can reasonably hope for, given the mess that is SOAP. See https://code.google.com/p/pysimplesoap/wiki/SoapClient for some examples. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
