Can you give me some hints about the status of the projects under the
Python Web Services [1] umbrella?

SOAPy seems pretty ambitious with full support for W3C XML Schema but
hasn't been updated since April 2001, ie before W3C XML Schema went rec.

Your own ZSI [3] seems very interesting too, although I note that some
exotic types needed to be fully compliant (such as xs:NOTATION or
xs:ENTITY) appear to be missing. Also, a type library should support
facets and I don't think yours does.

Do you have plans to supporte all the W3C XML Schema datatypes and
eventually their facets?

Thanks

Eric
