Automate calls to SOAP and REST webservices using simple Python scripts

Probably not many people will tell you running batches over webservices is a good idea. Sometimes though, it can be handy to have a script available to generate webservice calls based on a template message with variables and automate processing the response messages. In addition, if you have a large number of calls, executing the calls in parallel might save you a lot of time if your service platform can handle the concurrency.
