Please use suds rather than SOAPpy. SOAPpy is old and clamsy.

The goal of the SOAPpy team is to provide a full-featured SOAP library for Python that is very simple to use and that fully supports dynamic interaction between clients and servers.
- General SOAP Parser based on sax.xml
- General SOAP Builder
- SOAP Proxy for RPC client code
- SOAP Server framework for RPC server code
- Handles all SOAP 1.0 types
- Handles faults
- Allows namespace specification
- Allows SOAPAction specification
- Homogeneous typed arrays
- Supports multiple schemas
- Header support (mustUnderstand and actor)
- XML attribute support
- Multi-referencing support (Parser/Builder)
- Understands SOAP-ENC:root attribute
- Good interop, passes all client tests for Frontier, SOAP::LITE, SOAPRMI
- Encodings
- SSL clients (with Python compiled with OpenSSL support)
- SSL servers (with Python compiled with OpenSSL support and M2Crypto installed)
- Encodes XML tags per SOAP 1.2 name mangling specification (Gregory Warnes)
- Automatic stateful SOAP server support (Apache v2.x) (blunck2)
- WSDL client support
- WSDL server support
- Timeout on method calls
- Advanced arrays (sparse, multidimensional and partial)
- Attachments
- mod_python example
- medusa example
- Improved documentation

You can install SOAPpy and its dependencies directly from GitHub using PIP:
pip install -e "git+http://github.com/kiroky/SOAPpy.git@develop#egg=SOAPpy"
- wstools
- pyGlobus, optional support for Globus, <http://www-itg.lbl.gov/gtg/projects/pyGlobus/>
- M2Crypto.SSL, optional support for server-side SSL <http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/>
- If Python is compiled with SSL support (Python 2.3 does so by default), client-side use of SSL is supported
As of version 0.9.8 SOAPpy can be installed using the standard python package installation tools.
To install:
Unpack the distribution package:
On Windows, use your favorite zip file uncompression tool.
On Unix:
$ tar -xvzf SOAPpy-$VERSION$.tar.gz
- If you have gnu tar, otherwise
$ gzcat SOAPpy-$VERSION$.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
Change into the source directory :
cd SOAPpy-$VERSION$
Compile the package:
$ python setup.py build
Install the package
On Windows:
$ python setup.py install
On Unix install as the owner of the python directories (usally root):
$ su root Password: XXXXXX $ python setup.py install
A simple "Hello World" http SOAP server:
import SOAPpy
def hello():
return "Hello World"
server = SOAPpy.SOAPServer(("localhost", 8080))
server.registerFunction(hello)
server.serve_forever()
And the corresponding client:
import SOAPpy
server = SOAPpy.SOAPProxy("http://localhost:8080/")
print server.hello()
Mark Pilgrims _Dive Into Python, published in printed form by Apress and online at at http://diveintopython.org provides a nice tutorial for SOAPpy in Chapter 12, "SOAP Web Services". See http://diveintopython.org/soap_web_services .
For further information see the files in the docs/ directory.
Note that documentation is one of SOAPpy's current weak points. Please help us out!
