[BioPython] too lazy to install InterProScan on my computer

[Ann Loraine]

Greetings all,

I've been trying to get EBI's InterProScan Web service to work with
ZSI, which I understand  is the preferred SOAP messaging
implementation for python. I haven't had much luck so far .. I've get
an error that look like an incompatibility in the WSDL of EBI
(http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/wsdl/WSInterProScan.wsdl) and
what ZSI expects (see below.)

Has anyone on the list used EBI's InterProScan from python using ZSI?
If yes, did it work for you?

Any sample code would be much appreciated, as I am new to SOAP. (EBI
provides some example perl and java client code, but I'd like to take
advantage of python's interpreter, which in theory would allow me to
submit a bunch of requests to EBI using the asynchronous option,
collect the job ids in a dictionary, and then fetch the data later on
in the same interactive session.)
