<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Chaps,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m pretty new to the world of Python, but I’m
slowly getting my head around things, and on today’s agenda I’m
looking at consuming SOAP web services. I’ve got an Adobe ColdFusion
application which I’ve written that publishes the web service that I’m
looking to consume, but I’m at a loss as to where to start. I’m
running Python 2.4.4 on a Debian Linux distribution, in case that makes any difference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I thought I’d start with something very simple, just a
service I pass an ID to and it’ll return a Boolean value. Here is the web
service link.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><a
href="http://www.yourblue.co.uk/webservicetester/ip.cfc?wsdl">http://www.yourblue.co.uk/webservicetester/ip.cfc?wsdl</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’d be interested to hear any thoughts on the best way
to go about this, or perhaps some working code examples of consuming this
service. I will always have the WSDL file available to me by appending the
?wsdl to the URL, I’ve heard this makes life easier. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> like I say, I’m pretty new so it’s
perfectly ok for you guys to assume I’m an idiot and talk to me as if I
were a small child :-D<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
