I see two differences. I don't think the namespaces are a problem. The
declarations are in different locations but that should not matter. The
real differences are:
1. The order of the parameters is different. This could well be the
   problem if the server is not paying attention to the parameter names
   but only to the order.
2. The types are included in Python. this is the RPC.encoded convention
   rather than RPC/literal. RPC/encoded is not WS-I compliant and I
   don't think SOAPpy supports it.

Actually I would guess number 1 is the culprit. Maybe you could use a
different SOAP implementation, e.g. suds
(https://fedorahosted.org/suds/). I haven't used it myself but had it
recommended by some of my students who used it for a project.
