SOAP

My search for a SOAP library which:

Supports python 3
SOAP 1.2
Is a server (not just a client)

What SOAP client libraries exist for Python

Libraries

osa

osa - A small python library to consume SOAP services:

https://bitbucket.org/sboz/osa/overview:

pip install hg+ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/sboz/osa
cl = osa.Client("http://phone.activ8rlives.com/spservice.asmx?wsdl")
cl.types
cl.service

pysimplesoap

Python simple and lightweight SOAP library for client and server webservices interfaces.

spyne

http://spyne.io/:

Looks like the SOAP stuff supports python 3

But it doesn’t support SOAP 1.2 (which I think is used by the API): http://spyne.io/docs/2.11/faq.html#does-spyne-support-the-soap-1-2-standard

This pull request did some work on SOAP 1.2: https://github.com/arskom/spyne/pull/386

suds

One of the answers to the Stack Overflow SOAP 1.2 python client question suggests using suds with a gist to support SOAP 1.2.

https://bitbucket.org/jurko/suds/overview is a fork of the original suds project for python 3, but I don’t know if you can make a SOAP server. It is active though!
