Hi
As you may know I've been working on a project using soaplib. Recently it's
been put on hold, but I've put the code so far up on bitbucket, at
https://bitbucket.org/jfine/ou_lts_soap
My work so far shows some of the difficulties I have with soaplib, which you
might want to address or at least discuss. In this message I'll give three.
1. The name of a function is used as the key when forming a dictionary (even
though there's already a perfectly good key available).
2. I'd like to separate out the SOAP stuff into a single layer, into which I
can put non-soap-aware functions. In other words, I want an adapter.
3. In the interface there is, to my view, unecessary use of self.
Here's an example of creating an adapter (based on soaplib).

Here's an example of the use of the adapter.

And here's the complex stuff I did to make all this interface with soaplib.
https://bitbucket.org/jfine/ou_lts_soap/src/96f7873fb915/ou_lts_soap/tools.py
And here's where I have to give a function the right name.
https://bitbucket.org/jfine/ou_lts_soap/src/96f7873fb915/ou_lts_soap/tools.py#cl-160
I am interested in discussing this stuff, in part because I'm down to give a
training session on using classes at EuroPython and some aspects of what we
have here might make a good case study.
Best regards
Jonathan
