[Soap-Python] Soaplib beat1 released into the wild

[Chris Austin]

Hi Michael,

Sorry I am late to getting to this; I've been a bit distracted from soaplib for a few days.

For some reason I never thought to put a mod_wsgi specific example in the docs.  In hindsight it seems completely like a no-brainier that it is a pretty common use case.  I'll try to update the docs later this week or early next week.


Now, soaplibs wsgi support should work just fine with mod_wsgi.  The difference that you've encountered here is because sometime after 1.0 it was discussed and decided that it would be nice not to tie soaplib directly to mod_wsgi.  The Application object was modified and the wsgi support was moved into a soaplib.core.server.wsgi.

To use this with a wsgi server it requires an extra import and extra line of code.

import MyService
import soaplib
from soaplib.core.server import wsgi

soap_app = soaplib.core.Application([MyService], "MyTns")
wsgi_app = wsgi.Application(soap_application)

Inside the wsgi_app, __call__() has been implemented.

Also, the hello world example in the project docs is a bit "prettier" and has a few a bit more explination.

Hope this helps.

A week or so ago I gave 2.0.0b1 a try and it seemed like the changes
to get it to work would be quite small.  Mostly @rpc -> @soap and
[Ss]erializer -> [Mm]odel IIRC.

One thing I was not able to figure out in the short time I spent on
it, though, was how to get it to work with modwsgi.  It seems the way
this is done has changed with 2.0.

Basically, what I'm doing at the moment (with 1.0) is I have a file
(e.g. MyService.wsgi) that contains something like this:

========================
import MyService
from soaplib.wsgi import Application

application = Application([MyService.MyService], 'myns')
========================

When I try that with 2.0.0b1, though (after fixing up the
"Application" import IIRC), it seems that modwsgi tries to call
application, but there's no __call__() method.  I only spent a few
minutes looking at it and was not able to figure out what I was
supposed to do to make it work.  I plan to come back to it at some
point, but don't have the time right now.

Thanks :)
