hello,

i installed SOAPpy 0.12.0 and pyXML 0.8.4 in order to try out the
google-search example in diveintopython
http://diveintopython.org/soap_web_services/index.html
however, i'v been trying and trying and won't get it to work :-(
whenever i run this code, i get the attached exception...

from SOAPpy import WSDL
WSDLFILE = '/pathtomy/googleapi/GoogleSearch.wsdl'

[...]

column 0

Did you check your GoogleSearch.wsdl file? From the error I guess that
something is wrong with the file itself. I Recommend to check it, or
download it again:

http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl

No experience with SOAPpy, but with SOAP::Lite (Perl), I can give the uri
to that file (OTOH, hosting it localy might be faster).
