Status

I consider this library to be stable. Since no new developments happen around the SOAP specification it won't be updated that much. Good PR's which fix bugs are always welcome however.

Installation

pip install zeep

Note that the latest version to support Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 is Zeep 3.4, install via pip install zeep==3.4.0

Zeep uses the lxml library for parsing xml. See https://lxml.de/installation.html for the installation requirements.

Usage

from zeep import Client

client = Client('tests/wsdl_files/example.rst')
client.service.ping()

To quickly inspect a WSDL file use:

python -m zeep <url-to-wsdl>

Please see the documentation at http://docs.python-zeep.org for more information.
