SOAP problems

[Johan Fredrik Øhman]

Be sure you need to use the soap protocol.  The hours I spent with soap
convinced me that is it quite a 'bloat'.  Try to transfer a long array (i.e.
2000 entries) and you are in for an unpleasant surprise. It is extremely
slow and inefficient.

Check http://pyro.sourceforge.net/ for a much better alternative for
Python - Python communication.
