Any word on when Zope is going to have cleanly integrated SOAP support? (to publish zope objects as soap-based web services) How bout WSDL? Regards, Rocky (r0ky)
The problem is that the SOAP support in Python has never really been finished off which in turn makes Zope support difficult. I'm just working on a SOAP project at the moment, we used SOAP::Lite and the PyPerl module to run the Perl support modules in Python - it worked pretty well but messy, nothing like coding in Perl to remind you how clean Python is! I'm currently trying to persuade some of our customers to fund work to take Python's support to the level of Perl's but nobody is biting yet...

How bout WSDL?
Hmm... I was assuming that ZSI was a decent SOAP implementation for Python. But I can't find any Python WSDL support anywhere. I assumed that the most logical approach was to extend ZSI to have decent WSDL support, then to write some Zope product that hooked ZSI into Zope.

ZSI is the best. The main gotcha is that you must use a PyXML older than 0.7 the current version is 0.8.2. But of course other packages need the *newer* one so you have to get involved in renaming modules. And as you say it doesn't do any of the other useful things you would need for a full Web Services implementation. A lot of the ground work has been done, I don't think it would be a huge amount of work to finish things off. A On 21/2/03 6:11 pm, "Rocky Burt" <rocky.burt@bricsnet.com> wrote:
