Soaplib is an easy to use python library for publishing soap web services using WSDL 1.1 standard, and answering SOAP 1.1 requests. With a very small amount of code, soaplib allows you to write a useful web service and deploy it as a WSGI application.
The official soaplib discussion forum can be found here.
The legacy versions of soaplib are also available in this repository.
See here for the stable soaplib-0.8 branch. See here for the stable soaplib-1.0 branch.

This is the unstable development branch
- deploy services as WSGI applications
- handles all xml (de)serialization
- on-demand WSDL generation
- doesn't get in your way!!!
- Python 2.4 or greater
- lxml (available through easy_install)
- a WSGI-compliant web server (CherryPy, WSGIUtils, Flup, etc.)
- pytz (available through easy_install)
Soaplib services can be deployed as WSGI applications, in any WSGI-compliant web server. See the examples directory in the source distribution for deployment examples. Soaplib services have been successfully run on the following web servers:
- CherryPy 2.2
- Flup
- twisted.web (8.2, 9.0)
- WSGIUtils 0.9
- Most examples and tests require Python 2.5 or greater
- Twisted is required for
