jira SOAP and XMLRPC

I was wondering if there are urls for the various calls that can be made to jira. get issues, get users. what format are they in xml? json?

I want to write a wrapper class in python. I see the SOAP api exsists but no methods definitions in python anywhere I can find. I found the java one fairly easy.

Your help is appreciated.

Please and thank you.

Atlassian recommends REST API to communicate with Jira remotely. It is supported in Jira 5.0 and later. They still support SOAP API, but are not going to implement any new functionality there.

To use SOAP API in Python you can use any SOAP client library - What's the best SOAP client library for Python, and where is the documentation for it?

Here are examples in Python that use REST web services - http://developer.yahoo.com/python/python-rest.html

Please take a look at this: http://blog.sophilabs.com/2011/08/overcoming-jira-3-13-x-remote-access-limitations-part-ii/

This is a good alternative to put up with JIRA RPC limitations.
