Chuck,
Take a look at the 'ZSI' project.

http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/

If you check out the serialize-dom-scheme branch, you get a really nice 
WSDL code generator for Python (much, much better than SOAPpy
or normal ZSI).  Then, go get pyGridWare.  It adds a Twisted service 
container that can house ZSI-based web services.

If you want a working example, with documentation:

Good luck,
Dave
