Hi Bill,

There's a lightweight python client: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sushipy/

(I haven't used it, just know *of* it)

Thanks,
James

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Anyone have a SUSHI client?

[Background: SUSHI
<http://www.niso.org/committees/SUSHI/SUSHI_comm.html>is a SOAP protocol for getting data on use of electronic resources in the COUNTER format]

I'm just starting to look at trying to get COUNTER data via SUSHI into our data warehouse, and I'm discovering that apparently no one has worked on a SUSHI client since late 2009.

Unless....I'm missing one? Anyone out there using SUSHI and have a client that works and is up-to-date and has some documentation of some sort? I'd prefer ruby or java, but will take anything that'll run under linux (i.e., not C#) at this point.

I'm desperately trying not to have to deal with the raw SOAP and parsing the XML and such, so any help would be appreciated.
