Did you check your GoogleSearch.wsdl file? From the error I guess that 
something is wrong with the file itself. I Recommend to check it, or 
download it again:

http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl

No experience with SOAPpy, but with SOAP::Lite (Perl), I can give the uri 
to that file (OTOH, hosting it localy might be faster).
