I can access it trough browser, and everything works fine.

The function I need to call is .RunTranslate.
It takes one string argument inText, and 2 custom enumeration arguments, inLang and outLang (I suppose they are serialized/deserialized as string), a returns one string value as translation.

Now, what I have tried:

1. SOAPy library
import soap
server = soap.get_proxy('http://192.168.1.72/sts/TranslatorService.asmx?wsdl','wsdl')
translation = server.RunTranslate(inText="translate this", inLang="English", outLang="German")

I get the following error:
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/soap.py", line 263, in __init__
sys.exit(1)
NameError: global name 'sys' is not defined
