			Actually the problem seems to be:

			It looks like WCF hides some of their stuff in the WSDL, but they tell you
			where it is with their import schemas:

			<wsdl:types>
			- <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/Imports">
			<xsd:import
			schemaLocation="http://someurl.com/service.svc?xsd=xsd0"
			namespace="http://tempuri.org/" />
			<xsd:import
			schemaLocation="http://someurl.com/service.svc?xsd=xsd1"
			namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/" />
			</xsd:schema>
			</wsdl:types>

			Is there a way I can get my ServiceProxy read that file?

			from ZSI.ServiceProxy import ServiceProxy as sp
			>>>>> s = sp("yoururl.wsdl")

			Having spent too much time recently looking at python/SOAP stuff I am
			pretty sure ZSI is the only one out there that will go any way towards
			handling the WSDL part for you.

			I am more than willing for someone to correct me on this if I missed anything.

			Works fine for me, as far as client WSDL/SOAP is concerned. But the
			bigger problem is XSD files that turn quickly turn into monstrosities. I
			use Code Synthesis' xsd-tree for parsing xsd specifications and
			serializing the data, then pack them in with ZSI to send them off to the
			server. I've tried Java (jaxb,jaxm), mono -C# (with Microsofts XSD),
			gSoap and Perl soap::lite. I found the java variations seriously over
			engineered (a class file per element), (the mono XSD was seriously
			deficient. Its /c to generate c++ didn't work on linux, and C# under
			mono is really just a specification), and Perl soap::lite out of date
			(didn't work with the .net services I had to deal with) Had I had some
			more time, I might have made gSoap work, but ZSI tackled the WSDL I had
			to work with right out of the tarbox. And when something was unclear or
			didn't work, I could step through with the python debugger to track it
			down. I work on linux. If I had been developing on M$, I would have
			used their stuff, but I still think I would stick with Code Synthesis
			and C++ for parsing xsd. It's a fantastic program with unbelievably
			good support for an open source product, and works with Visual
			Studio,too.

			ZSI's support is ok, too. The turnaround on questions is pretty slow.
			But if you don't mind stepping through the code, you can usually fix the
			problem yourself. And there seem to be plenty of people using it.
