python-hessian is a Python implemention of Hessian, a binary web services protocol. It supports the Hessian 1.0.2 specification and the Hessian 2.0 Serialization Protocol. The library is a fork of mustaine, which is no longer maintained. It provides a standard HTTP-based client as well as a general-purpose serialization library.

Testing against Caucho’s reference service:

from pyhessian.client import HessianProxy
service = HessianProxy("http://hessian.caucho.com/test/test")
print service.replyDate_1()
