IIRC, ZSI is.  Certainly there is no solid WSDL implementation.

Don't take my poor memory as gospel, though, read the recent article
by Uche Ogbuji and Mike Olson that was referenced in a recent weekly

Or you could just stick with httplib (I'd certainly rather not know
anything about SOAP if I can help it, though).

What third-party modules?  PyXML is the only one that comes to mind.
That's only one package.
