python equivalent for this perl soap client

[Edwin.Madari at VerizonWireless.com]

use SOAP::Lite;
use Data::Dumper;

$ENV{HTTP_proxy} = "my_proxy_server_not_soap_proxy_server";
$ENV{HTTP_proxy_user} = ""; #set correct value
$ENV{HTTP_proxy_pass} = ""; #set correct value

my $soap = SOAP::Lite ->service('file:./local_file_copy_of_wsdl.wsdl');
my $som = $soap->soapMethod("method", "args", "as", "required");
print Dumper($som);

although above perl code (yes it works!), connects to the soap server through the http proxy with proper credentials, I would rather do it python. has any out there succeeded in making a soap request through firewall using wsdl something like below....

from SOAPpy import WSDL
server = WSDL.Proxy('./local_file_copy_of_wsdl.wsdl')
res = server.soapMethod("method", "args", "as", "required")

tried every which way but cannot get it to work. any hints, suggestions appreciated.

thanks in advance
Edwin
