heya,

We need to make a web-frontend for listing and adding items to a YSM
(Yahoo Search Marketing) account. These would include things like new
sub-accounts, new campaigns, keywords etc. You can check/edit these
items through a SOAP API. At the moment, I'm using the SUDS library to
manage these (https://fedorahosted.org/suds/)

I was going to use Django simply for the URL-routing and templating
system (that and I'm more comfortable in Python than say, PHP), and
eschew the model layer. So it's just be a series of views/forms that
listed/manipulated SOAP calls.

However, I was wondering, is it still possible to use the model layer,
since the "model" is something accessed through SOAP queries, rather
than something on a local database. I guess there's a lot of issues,
I'm not sure if any of Django's introspection or model code would
work, performance/latency etc., although I haven't really thought
about it a lot.

Is there any way to get it to work? Or would it be suitable to do a
periodic dump from the SOAP api into a database, and use that as the
model? I suppose then there might be issues of it getting out of sync,
or other people editing the YSM account. Suggestions?

Cheers,
Victor
