maybe you could fake it:

class fakedict(dict):
    def __init__(self, *data):
        self.data = list(data)
        for k, v in data:
            self[k] = v
    def items(self):
        return self.data

d = fakedict(("a", 1), ("b", 2), ("c", 3))

print d => {'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2}
print d.items() => [('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)]
print isinstance(d, dict) => True

(the exact set of methods you need to override depends on how SOAPpy
fetches the members).
