During the biohackathon in January, I worked on getting Python access to the XEMBL databases via SOAP. I needed a WSDL parser that could parse the XEMBL specification and create the proper SOAP requests. I got hold of one parser (hosted at ActiveState?), but it was not able to parse the specification. I don't believe it was a problem with the specs, because perl handled the same WSDL file fine. My conclusion at the time was that I would have to manually go through the WSDL file and generate the proper SOAP requests by hand. Jeff
