I am trying to call a webservice using SOAPpy:
from SOAPpy import SOAPProxy
url = 'http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx'
server = SOAPProxy(url);
print server.GetWeatherByPlaceName('Dallas');
print server.GetWeatherByZipCode ('33126');
The server call fails:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "soap_test.py", line 6, in <module>
print server.GetWeatherByPlaceName('Dallas');
File "C:\usr\bin\Python26\lib\site-packages\SOAPpy\Client.py", line 451, in __call__

What am I doing wrong?
