There is an article by Doug Hellmann that evaluates various SOAP Tools.
You might want to take a look at https://github.com/stepank/pyws, it can expose python functions as SOAP methods and provides WSDL description. I've just released version 1.0, it's interoperability was tested on several clients, so it seems to be quite friendly.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
