Python call SOAP API without wsdl

Question

i need to call a SOAP API. My problem is that this api doesn`t provide wsdl. Its the ISPConfig Remote API written in PHP.

Is there a Python Module which is able to call a Soap ws without wsdl?

I know my question was asked before, but there is no real answer provided for my issue. I hope you guys can help me this time.

Bogdans comment is right, the WSDL is just the contract between Webservice provider and consumer, you might use it for code generation but it is not a must (although very helpful).

SOAP is "simply" (okay it's not, anyway ;) specialized/standardized XML via HTTP(s). Therefore you don't really need special modules for doing the call itself, you just need a HTTP library which is capable of sending HTTP-POST requests.

Have a look here for an example: Sending SOAP request using Python Requests
