state of SOAP and python?

[Andre Meyer]

I had success with ZSI: http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/

It worked very nicely for publishing a SOAP we service and accessing it from
a client writtenusing the same library. What I didn't manage to achieve was
to write the client in AJAX (tried
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-wsajax/).

Andre
