Don't worry if you only need a SOAP client used by your Zope site.
An SOAP client as external method won't screw your installation, even if
(very) buggy. You can event turn it into a Python product.
In the other hand, serving WSDL/SOAP with Zope is tricky. This certainly
requires to patch the ZServer. Don't play with this if you're newbie.
