What's the best SOAP client library for Python, and where is the documentation for it?

What tool would you recommend to use with Python to consume Web Services?

I have thought about using SOAP.py, but some of the libraries it relies on (PyXML) are out of date. Plus, it seems as if it is not in active dev/support anymore.

FYI: I am consuming a SOAP web service.

I'd recommend suds. It is very simple and easy to use.

Simple example:

from suds.client import Client

url = 'http://localhost:7080/webservices/WebServiceTestBean?wsdl'
client = Client(url)
result = client.service.MyMethod(args)

For more examples / tutorial see their documentation page..

Thank you. Could you point me in the direction of a possible tutorial? – curiousgeorge Apr 15 '11 at 15:16
I see. It doesn't seem like they have a package to install on windows? – curiousgeorge Apr 15 '11 at 15:25
You can download a tarball and install it as a python egg with `python setup.py install` – pajton Apr 15 '11 at 15:33
