The WSDL will never as easily be created as in .NET/JAVA, as Python lacks
static typing annotations that are used by the WSDL-generators. So either
someone defines his own type annotation theme for that purpose that can be
used to infer the WSDL  - or you write WSDL yourself. Which is a major
PITA, as the whole SOAP mess. 

Ravi OTH has pointed out _running_ a SOAP service is easy as cake.
