BibleFeed Project: Consuming a SOAP web service
Mon, Mar 30, 2009
This is the third post in the BibleFeed Project. If you haven’t already, read the first and second posts.
In my last post I stated the difficulty I was having finding a python library to handle the SOAP web service which I’ll be using to get the data for this project. I gave up on using a library for SOAP and decided to use urllib2 to send the SOAP request and retrieve the response, and ElementTree to parse the response. Both of these are standard libraries in Python 2.5 and higher, so you should not need to install anything extra to use these libraries.
The difficulty of consuming a .NET Web Service using Python

This post is not part of my Biblefeed series of posts, but it is very much related. For the Biblefeed project, I was hoping to consume this web service in order to get the data I need to make the project work. The web service appears to be a SOAP web service written in .Net.
