SOAPPy helloworld-ish problem

[pion]

Hello

I'm trying to make a web service client in python, and so to start out, I found this simple example that are supposed to parse an wsdl file using SOAPPy. I'm using Windows and got SOAPPy installed using the Enthought Python Distribution. I've tried several wsdl files and commenting out parts of the code etc. but I just can't twist my head around what's the problem here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

soappyTest.py:

from SOAPpy import WSDL

url = 'GoogleSearch.wsdl' # from http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl

# just use the path to the wsdl of your choice
wsdlObject = WSDL.Proxy(url + '?WSDL')

print 'Available methods:'
for method in wsdlObject.methods.keys() :
  print method
  ci = wsdlObject.methods[method]
  # you can also use ci.inparams
  for param in ci.outparams :
    # list of the function and type 
    # depending of the wsdl...
    print param.name.ljust(20) , param.type
  print

output at command prompt / terminal:

Thanks in advance for any help!
