SMTP for SOAP in Python

[David Levy]

SOAP.py is the best library available for python IMHO

you are right, most of the job is for type handling
you can write your own Transport Class (SMTPTransport) to send and
receive the soap message
you pass it to your SOAPProxy and it;'s ok .... it should be !

I would also be interested in such an implementation !
plz tell us :)
