Is anyone using Python for GS1 XML and AS2 EDI?

I'm helping some manufacturing companies link up their EDI systems using the GS1 XML specs (this is an international开发者_StackOverflow中文版 spec for companies to pass things like purchase-orders, invoices, barcodes etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GS1).

There are lots of Big Iron solutions, and lots of Java and C# solutions, and even a couple in PHP. But I haven't found any projects in Python.

Have you tried this, and can you offer any war stories?

I worked with GS1 XML specs. Nothing special, just very baroque. for edi I use bots (http://bots.sourceforge.net) for AS2 (bots does not do AS2) http://opensource.mendelson-e-c.com/

Followup.

I made the original post back in September. It's now December and the system is complete.

In the end I did use the BOTS EDI open source project (http://bots.sourceforge.net). This is a Python platform for doing electronic data interchange translations and comms.

This turned out to be an excellent option. The development was smooth and it saved an enormous amount of work that I was expecting. I highly recommend it.
