> PHP and Python have had SOAP libraries for a decade but they require considerably more effort to even consume SOAP. I have never tried to stand up a SOAP Service with them but I can't imagine it's any good. I've tried suds and zeep. They both didn't really work in my specific cases. My strategy from now on is to write a bit of code in Visual C#, then analyze the xml traffic, and then generate that same XML using Python/PHP. The SOAP protocol is actually pretty simple once you know how it works. SOAP has a lot of problems, but it's pretty amazing that you don't need a client side library to use it in Visual C#.
