Wow.  That is *certainly* strange behavior.  I looked at the request 
generated from ServiceProxy.  It looked like:
<ns1:GetWeatherInfo xmlns:ns1="http://ejse.com/WeatherService/">
<zipCode xsi:type="xsd:int">20782</zipCode>
</ns1:GetWeatherInfo>


Then I looked at the request generated from wsdl2py (Calvin - when you
call locator.getPort(), you can pass tracefile=sys.stdout), and it looked
like this:
<GetWeatherInfo xmlns="http://ejse.com/WeatherService/">
<zipCode xsi:type="xsd:int">20782</zipCode>
</GetWeatherInfo>


To my eyes, these two requests are the same.  I noticed that the server
is running IIS and is ASP.NET - maybe their SOAP demarshaller is 
non-conformant?  

Anyone else on the list care to weigh in on this?

Yup - that's the great part about SOAP.  A project I've been meaning to
work on is a simple little GUI that allows you to punch in a SOAP request
to send to the server.  See if it works, and tweak your request until you
get it right.

Thanks. :)
