[FRPythoneers] Preferred SOAP libraries?

[Rob Riggs]

Web Services (i.e. SOAP 1.2, WS-*) are all the rage in the corporate 
world.  IBM, Sun and MSFT are pushing this hard.  I think they invented 
SOAP for brainwashing software architects.  Personally, I find Python's 
CORBA bindings much more useful for distributed applications.  Try to 
get a C++ or Java programmer excited about writing a CORBA client 
though...  The C++ bindings are horrible.  (Sorry, exiting rant mode now.)

In any event, Python developers might find SOAP more palatable if it 
weren't for the fact that every SOAP solution available is about 3 years 
behind everyone else.  Most SOAP implementations focus on the server 
side while, in fact, most users of Python have need for robust client 
side tools.

None of the tools offer a robust solution.
