A Python SOAP client

Highlights:

• Compatible with Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and PyPy3
• Build on top of lxml, requests and httpx
• Support for Soap 1.1, Soap 1.2 and HTTP bindings
• Support for WS-Addressing headers
• Support for WSSE (UserNameToken / x.509 signing)
• Support for asyncio using the httpx module
• Experimental support for XOP messages

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

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.
