You should not need to mess with lxml yourself if you're using a SOAP
library like suds.   Also, you might try SOAPpy, or alternatively, try ZSI
if you can get it working -- the project seems kind of dead and not
recently updated and I seem to remember it was rather fiddly to get it
working last time I had to work with it.  (That said I might add that we've
had good success with ZSI.  Usefully, it can generate wrapper classes for
your WSDL which means you get a concrete native Python representation that
you can refer to, of the webservice interface you're trying to work with.
 SOAPpy and other more recent frameworks takes a more minimalist approach
and does everything dynamically which can sometimes make it a bit tricky to
work with a new interface.)
