I searched the web for an existing and
supported
SOAP library for
Python 3
. (both client and server)
Here the list of libraries I've found:
Python 2:
Zeep
:
active and well documented
in Python 2.7/3
SOAPy
: discontinued Python 2 project
ZSI
: discontinued Python 2 project
soaplib
: discontinued Python 2 project
SUDS
: discontinued Python 2 project (no activity since 02/2012)
rpclib
: discontinued Python 2 project (no activity since 08/2012)
Python 3:
Zeep
:
active and well documented
Python 2/3 project
SOAPy
: discontinued Python 2 project
pysimplesoap
:
active
Python 2/3 project
SUDS-jurko
: quite inactive. Python 2/3 project
ladon
: low activivty. but web services only
Does this list seems complete to you? (FYI, I used this
post
as starting point (The purpose of that post was the same but for Python 2))
ladon
seems to me the only existing framework for Python 3 but can AFAIK only be used for implementing the server side.
NO
: I don't want to migrate one of the discontinued Python 2 projects myself. I am looking for a
supported
project with an active team providing help if needed.

Depending on the complexity of the service, you could use ladon for the server side and mock up the client by hand until there's a better solution available.
Just call the service with suds (or similar) with logging turned on and note the SOAP wrapping on the request. Use that to wrap your request and call the service with plain http.
It's not an ideal solution, but it can get you by until you have a package to replace it.
I did this same search several months ago and came to the same conclusions. There really isn't much to choose from in this space. I ended up sticking with Python 2.7 and using SOAPy for my project because it was so easy to use. It may be discontinued but it still works. I figure that sometimes you just have to get your hands a little dirty and support yourself, that is why we are called programmers.
