Has, I have been looking at Perl, but compared to AS it looks to complicated

Perl's a great hacker language, but yeah, with so many features built
into the language it does take some time to get fluent in. (Any time
I dabble in Perl I spend 10x the time looking up things in books than
writing actual code.;) Python, though a litte flabby in the midriff,
is much more manageable, while Ruby is similar to Python with some
Perlisms thrown in. BTW, all have very good library and community
support, so you can probably get a lot of code and help from others.
FWIW, coming from AS it took me about a week to get comfy in Python -
and I'm a slow learner. Here's a tutorial if you need it:
<http://www.byteofpython.info>. You can probably skip the more
advanced chapters on writing your own classes and stuff: something
like a SOAP client shouldn't need more than procedural programming to
manipulate existing objects (which, as an AS user, you'll be well
used to doing:).
I checked your Python-link and the tutorial says there are two types of SOAP
web services, document-styled and RPC-styled. The tutorial concentrates om
RPC-style SOAP.
Best place to go ask would be the comp.lang.python newsgroup. Lots of
very nice helpful folk there who can tell you lots more about doing
SOAP in Python than I can.
