WebService client libraries for Python and Perl

Question

I want to access web service in Python or/and Perl scripts. What are the most popular and reliable libraries today?

I read this question, and I know about SOAPpy and ZSI. Can anybody say something about this libraries? Are they reliable enough for use in production?

If you're talking about SOAP then for Python I would definitely recommend suds : https://fedorahosted.org/suds/

Checking couple of libraries for SOAP (including suds) only ZSI worked reliably for me. It is not complicated to use and it just works(tm). I recommend that.

Perl has fantastic CPAN libraries available for doing SOAP. Probably the easiest would be SOAP::Lite:

SOAP::Lite is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple and lightweight interface to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) both on client and server side.

See more on the CPAN page.
