• Support for WSSE (UserNameToken / x.509 signing)
• Support for asyncio using the httpx module
• Experimental support for XOP messages

Please see the documentation for more information.

Status

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

Installation

pip install zeep

Zeep uses the lxml library for parsing XML. See lxml 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 for more information.
