web service client with IronPython

Question

User1881790064 posted

The main asp.net/ironpython page says that IronPython cannot be used for developing web services.

 

Can it be easily used for a webservice client?  That is, is there an easy way to take the wsdl to generated callable web methods?

 

Thanks much,

David

Hi David,

Yes, this should work no differently than it does from a C# app.  Just import the web service ('Add Web Reference...') and use it.  e.g. in you python code for a page, you could have: 

from localhost import *
def Page_Load():
  ws = WebService()
  Response.Write(ws.HelloWorld())

Just adapt 'localhost' and 'WebService' to your specific scenario.

thanks,
David
