Weird stuff... for Java, SOAP seems to become the de-facto RPC-over-web
aka Web Services platform, and a dozen implementations can be found.
Now why is there so little SOAP activity for Python?
Not that I like SOAP. I like XMLRPC better, of which there's even a
module in the Python standard library. But I just have to use SOAP
for this project I'm working on, and I want to prototype stuff
in Python.
Anyway I'll try the updated SOAP.py from the PyGoogle stuff.
