Python Web Service Recommendations

Question

I am looking to create a web service in Python, but none of the libraries/tools I have looked at appear to be actively maintained. I am looking to build a server using SOAP. Don't need to build a client at the moment as I can test using soapUI but will need to write a client at some point.

The ones I have already looked at include

ZSI
SOAPpy
SUDS
rpclib (formerly soaplib)

Can anyone recommend any more that might be maintained a bit more regularly?

what kind of webservice? More info - more answers... What features you need? — JackLeo, May 15 '11 at 12:34
@Sentinel - are you sure? There has been no commits for 3 months and the Trac site shows no updates for a while. — Jim Jeffries, May 15 '11 at 12:39
Is three months of silence for a dead project? Sorry but your claim is nonsense. — Andreas Jung, May 15 '11 at 12:47
@Sentinel - Yeah I suppose you are probably right. Do you know if of any documentation for Suds? — Jim Jeffries, May 15 '11 at 12:50
@user: please take your time - suds has reasonable documentation, you just have to google for it (yourself) — Andreas Jung, May 15 '11 at 12:55
At the end of the day, if it ain't broke, don't break it, right? So, if the package doesn't have any bug, it's still good for use, no? Look at qmail, for example :p. — Nam Nguyen, May 15 '11 at 13:55
The question asks for server-side SOAP libaries. I think Suds is client-only. — Hugo Ideler, Jun 14 '11 at 12:20

Try twisted: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/

Its heavily used project to various web services. You can build almost anything from it.

Talking about SOAP here is twisted support for SOAP from docs: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/web/howto/xmlrpc.html#auto4

Last change was few hour ago - so it is actively maintained.

Thanks that's more like what I am after anyway. The server support is much easier, even if there is no stub creation. – Jim Jeffries May 15 '11 at 14:01
