I think you missed the point.  ZSI was designed to work with
*pre-existing* transports, such as Apache (such as through mod_python
which is what we do), Python's HTTPServer (the release includes the
server I use for SOAP interop testing), or sys.stdin, sys.stdout (which
the docs show). Any object with a read method can be used for input, and
anything with a write method can be used for output.

Hope that's more clear.

I know I can do at least as well as Paul K. :)  (Just kidding; he's been
very helpful in the interop testing.)  Please take a look at the ZSI
doc; if it doesn't do what you want, I'm probably quite willing to add
what's missing.

ZSI is at http://www.zolera.com/resources/opensrc, including PDF and
HTML doc separate from the kit.  I'll be release ZSI 1.1 in a day or
two.
