title: Installing SOAP for Python
body: <p>I am new to Python, trying to learn it by doing a tutorial based on "Dive into Python" book.
  I am already in chapter about SOAP and I encountered some problems, when I tried to install all required libraries to use SOAP.
  The tutorial says I need 3 libraries:</p>
  
  <p>PyXML, fpconst, SOAPpy</p>
  
  <p>I've installed fpconst succesfully.
  However I can't install two others. I read on some forum that to install SOAPpy I need to have PyXML already installed, so maybe the problem is only in the first library.</p>
  
  <p>I followed instructions in README, but I'm getting some error and I don't really know what is wrong and how can solve it. See screen for details. My version of Python is 2.7.2+ and I am trying to install PyXML version 0.8.4.</p>

  <p>The errors states that such file or directory does not exist.
  I am using Ubuntu 11.10.</p>
  
  <p>PS: Ah! I forgot to mention that. I downloaded PyXML from this source :</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxml/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxml/</a></p>
  
  <p>And it it written here that it is out of date and one shouldn't use it. So what is an alternative to PyXML?</p>
