Why Is HTTP/SOAP considered to be "thick"

I've heard some opinions that the SOAP/HTTP web service call stack is "thick" or "heavyweight," but I can't really pinpoint why. Would it be considered thick because of the serialization/deserialization of the SOAP envelope and the message? Is that really a heavy-weight operation? Or is it just considered "thick" compared to a raw/bin...

SOAP - What's the point?

I mean, really, what is the point of SOAP? Web services have been around for a while, and for a while it seemed that the terms 'SOAP' and 'Web service' were largely interchangeable. However SOAP always seemed unwieldy and massively overcomplicated to me. Then REST came along, and suddenly web services made sense. As Joel Spolsky says,...

Best SOAP library for Python

I need to connect to a SOAP API in Python. A quick google led me here. Awesome, I thought, that looks perfect. However SOAPpy doesn't work with any moderately recent version of Python, and even if I could fix that, it depends on PyXML, which seems to have dropped off the net. So my question: what is the best library to use to connect to...
