Web services can be generally regarded as functions or functionality of applications or systems exposed over the Web using standardised message formats and typically interfaced to other software using traditional APIs, although "message-centric" usage of such services is also possible and may be favoured by certain technologies.

== SOAP ==

["SOAP"] is a Web services technology favoured in certain environments. The following projects seek to support SOAP and related technologies such as WSDL:

 * [http://www.python.org/pypi/soaplib soaplib] - a more recently established Web services library; at this time, this library is best used for publishing SOAP services since WSDL consumption is not part of the library
 * [http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/zsi.html ZSI] (Zolera Soap Infrastructure) - a version of the actively maintained [http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/ Python Web Services] project
 * [http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/soappy.txt SOAPpy] - part of the actively maintained [http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/ Python Web Services] project

== XML-RPC ==

The first popular and largely standardised Web services technology was [wiki:XmlRpc XML-RPC], supported in Python by the following libraries:

 * xmlrpclib - found in the standard library

== XMPP ==

More in common with the message-centric usage of ["SOAP"], [http://www.xmpp.org/ XMPP] - an Internet standard which provides the foundation for the Jabber instant messaging technology - could be used as a Web services protocol. See ["PythonXml"] for details of suitable projects.
