(disclosure: I'm one of the OWSLib devs and maintainer)
Hi Bruce: echo Jachym's comments. OWSLib has been around for awhile and is usually the first place Python folks run into for Python/OWS support on the client side. There are numerous significant activities/projects including: - CKAN - GeoNode - US IOOS - pycsw - QGIS - SciTools ...along with a considerable contributor footprint (https://github.com/geopython/OWSLib/graphs/contributors) and healthy/active contribution rate via pull request, etc. As well, OWSLib is available on many platforms like Debian, UbuntuGIS, Fedora, etc. which make it packaging/deployment friendly for operational environments. There are certainly rough edges (e.g. updating the unit tests against very stable endpoints, Python 3 support), but IMHO it certainly does a great job job of making "OWS suck less" (as coined by original authoer Sean Gillies in the past). ..Tom On Mon, 16 Mar 2015, Jachym Cepicky wrote:

Certainly, it's not covering all the standards with all their versions up to 100%, but it's worth using and even more worth to contribute to ;-) Jachym po 16. 3. 2015 v 2:08 odesÃlatel Bruce Bannerman <b.banner...@bom.gov.au> napsal:(Apologies for cross posting) Hello Colleagues, We're looking around for a good, robust open source python framework for working with OGC Web Services. Our initial need is to automate the validation and testing of our internal services, though I expect that our need will grow from there. Can anyone point me in the direction of some effective libraries that work with current versions of OWS? We've come across OWSlib [1] and [2], but are not aware of how people are finding its functionality.
