I'm on Ignition 8.1.21 trying to figure out what is a good alternative to **python suds library** for SOAP requests (_suds_ seems to be deprecated).  
I'm evaluating the **Sepasoft Web Services module** and try to connect to a public SOAP endpoint:  
[https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/soap?wsdl](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/soap?wsdl)  
If I try to create a new SOAP Consumer configuration with that URL, I get the following exception:

```auto
com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.gateway_interface.GatewayException: null
...
Caused by: java.lang.StackOverflowError

```

If I try to consume the same endpoint using _suds_, it works perfectly!  
Then my question to those of you that have hands-on experience with that module: is _Sepasoft module_ really a good alternative to _python suds_, considering that the python module is free too?

Thanks in advance, regards
