Mr. Ripton,

Thank you for your very kind and helpful response. I will most definitely 
give PB a spin since my project is in-house and thus I can run Python on 
both sides of the conversation. I didn't realize that SOAP is Microsoft FUD, 
as I thought SOAP is a W3C standard. Is W3C the committee that Microsoft is 
trying to manipulate?

Thanks again for your hepful feedback. Python really rocks the world and I 
think will continue to do so for a long time to come.

Sergio
