Python Web Services (via Mowser)

Welcome to the Python Web Services Project! The Web Services for Python Project provides libraries for developing web services using the python programming language. The libraries implement the various protocols used when writing web services including SOAP, WSDL, and other related protocols.

For additional information on the Web Services for Python Project see the Source Forge project page. The pywebsvcs-talk mailing list is where discussions takes place regarding the project; the archives are here. The mailing list is greatly preferred over the forum.

Software

Zolera SOAP Infrastructure (ZSI)

The primary and most active web services toolkit supported by this project.

API docs¹ | Documentation (1.7) | SVN tree | Latest official release (2.0) | PyPi

wstools

A library of WSDL and other classes useful for building Web Services stacks. This is common code used by both SOAPpy and ZSI.

In SOAPpy it is a separate package, but with ZSI it must be imported as ZSI.wstools.

¹The API docs are updated daily from the SVN repository.

SOAPpy

A second web services toolkit which is getting functionally integrated into the ZSI toolkit. In the future, the Python Web Services Project will only support one merged web services toolkit, under the ZSI name.
