Which SOAP module?

[Roy Smith]

I'm starting to play with SOAP. The zeroth question that needs
answering is, "Which SOAP module should I use?" There seem to be a
number of different ones to pick from. Any suggestions?

It depends on whether you want to write a client or a server
application. If you only want to write a client I found suds (
https://fedorahosted.org/suds/ ) very helpful. It is actively developed
and the documentation is comprehensive. Well, for the server I think you
have to rely on the ZSI (http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/)
project. In retrospect my first steps in this library were rather
painful but som year ago it was the most sophisticated library.

At least for now, I'm only interesting in clients.

Use soaplib (for client and/or server), it's a lot less painful.
