I don't know if it's applicable here, but XML-RPC (XML Remote Procedure
Calls) is a far simpler protocol for sending data in many cases.  It's
particularly easy to use in python as it looks pretty much like any other
function call where the function returns a dictionary (perl hash).

SOAP evolved from XML-RPC and grew enormously in the process.
