Well, thank you Mark anyways. I did more googling, and it did get me what I wanted this time. The trick is WSDL which ships with your Visual Studio. wsdl http://yourhost/mywebservice.asmx csc /t:library mywebservice.cs I hope this can help people with similar needs.

Hi Larry,

I don’t think you would have gotten much of an answer with your first question.

When you say a web service – is it written in Soap/XML-RPC or something else? You mention SOAP below so that is what I expect you are interested in? Why isn’t it the ‘preferred’ method?

If you are interested in using .NET in Python – then your first step should be to see how it is done in C#, VB.NET or some other language and then translate that into Python (if you want to use Python).

The following in your mail below is confusing… “All I know is I compiled a the latest version from its web about 2 month ago”. Did you mean downloaded from the web and compiled?

Finally – I don’t know much about web services and am currently researching it myself (SOAP in Python – not planning on using .NET at this point) – so your reply to me below would probably have been better going to the mail list if you want to get an answer from them.

Thanks

Mark

?? I am sorry. How do you want me ask my question differently? I dont know too much about python.net, so normally if i want to referenece a .net lib: import clr clr.AddReference('.netLib')

This doesnt work if I just pass in a web service link to it. So if this can be done, how to do I properly reference it? Google only resulted using SOAP related methods, which regular Python can do as well, and it's not my preferred way.

As for the Python.net version, honestly I can't tell. All I know is I compiled a the latest version from its web about 2 month ago, and overwritten it with my python 2.5 install. I dont know if this all makes any sense...

Hi everyone:

I need to reference a web service in python.net. Can this be done?

Thanks, Larry
