These examples often use short-lived services. When the tutorials are a
couple of years old, the sites disappear and the examples don't work. I
have given a course on distributed object systems the last years and
every few years I have to change the examples because they stop working.

This works for me. Could it be that the xurrency.com site was
temporarily down? Or that your company's firewall blocks SOAP calls?
maybe you should ask your network manager.

I used this example in my last lectures and it worked also today:

from SOAPpy import SOAPProxy
url = "http://xurrency.com/servidor_soap.php"
namespace = "http://xurrency.com/api.wsdl"
server = SOAPProxy(url, namespace)
server.config.dumpSOAPOut = True
server.config.dumpSOAPIn = True
print server.getValue(100,"eur","usd")
