what version of soaplib is it?

the sample xml does not contain a method call, nor namespace
qualifications. soaplib won't accept that *exact* message inside a soap
envelope. you need to define some methods.

here's what i'd do (with 0.9.x, minus imports)

class Contact(ClassSerializer):
        name = String
        title = String

class Contacts(ClassSerializer):
        contact = Array(Contact)

class ServiceDefinition(soaplib.service.DefinitionBase):
    @rpc(_returns=Array(Contact))
    def get_contacts(self)
        c1 = Contact()
        c1.name = 'punk'
        c1.title = 'ceo'

        c2 = Contact()
        c2.name = 'nerd'
        c2.title = 'cto'
        return [c1,c2]


look here for an example about what to do with that service:
