<p>I have a medium sized application that runs as a .net web-service which I do not control,
and I want to create a loose pythonic API above it to enable easy scripting.</p>

<p>I wanted to know what is the best/most practical solution for using web-services in python.</p>

<p>Edit:
I need to consume a complex soap WS
and I have no control over it.</p>
