Since 8.1.35, jython was updated to 2.7.3 and broke suds 0.4.1

Does somebody uses something else to call soap web service?  
After much research, I think I will have to go the manual way... and use httpGet, httpPost...

I think it's worth the effort to do this regardless. IA maintains those functions and will fix bugs as they arise. You get bugs in a jython library as you are now, there is no one who's job it is to fix it.

Always try to use 1st party library `system.*` type functions first before relying on jython libraries.

Also, use `httpClient`, not `httpGet`, `httpPut`, or `httpPost`.
