problem with google api / xml

[robin]

hello,

i installed SOAPpy 0.12.0 and pyXML 0.8.4 in order to try out the
google-search example in diveintopython
http://diveintopython.org/soap_web_services/index.html
however, i'v been trying and trying and won't get it to work :-(
whenever i run this code, i get the attached exception...

from SOAPpy import WSDL
WSDLFILE = '/pathtomy/googleapi/GoogleSearch.wsdl'
APIKEY = '....'
_server = WSDL.Proxy(WSDLFILE)

any help would be very much appreciated!
thanks in advance,
robin
