This package specifies dependency on dev-python/pyxml. Please test this package with dev-lang/python-2.7.1-r2:2.7 or >=dev-lang/python-2.7.2_pre20110515:2.7, which require explicit calling of xml.use_pyxml() before using PyXML. If this package actually needs PyXML, then modify all modules/scripts of this package, which import xml module. The following code should be added before first import of anything from xml module: import xml if hasattr(xml, "use_pyxml"): xml.use_pyxml() This code works with previous versions of Python, so no changes in dependencies are needed.
I'd say this is a dupe of my bug 299199, but see the note there. Also, it seems there are a few fixes in cvs, but no release for the last 6 years. Some of the latest mails on its list seem to confirm soappy being dead in favor of suds. Unfortunately, soappy is not leaf, there's still a couple packages depending on it.
Fixed in Progress Overlay on 2011-07-07. (Dependency on dev-python/pyxml deleted.)

As I said in bug 299199 and as comment 2 seems to confirm, dev-python/pyxml dependency is redundant to simply dev-lang/python[xml].
