Hi

I think it is better you specify wich web service you want to access since they may vary a lot.
Some of them use REST and xml (Yahoo! Maps), others REST and json (Twitter), XMLRPC (wordpress, blogger) and so on. And it is possible to access them from your mobile, of course.
Wordmobi code has examples for xmlrpc and rest+json. I think people at this dibo may have several other examples to show. I am writing a tutorial on rest+json, to be publised soon at python wiki, with some didactic examples.

Bye

I am trying to call a simple WS made in .NET.

Well, I discovered that I can call it using HTTP GET, but is there in Pys60 classes for doing that ? I mean treat the returned XML ?

you can use urllib for this (GET and POST requests, for instance). But, if your WS is based on xmlrpc, then you can use xmlrpclib, an amazing module. It does not come with standard python 1.4.5 but you can copy it (and its dependences) from standard python.2.2.3, as I did.

Think about showing some code you have tried or provide more details about WS. So, it will be easier to help you.

Available ... may need some minor reviews, but it was published.
And took a lot of time to be done ...
