O'Reilly Network: Using Python and XML with Microsoft .NET My Services

[ Thanks to Jason Greenwood for this link. ]

"In this article, we'll create a request for the simple .NET Contacts service. This service, in the simplest case, is a list of all your contacts, their phone numbers, email addresses, and any other information you would like to provide. This list is analogous to your address book in your desktop email program, PDA, or cell phone. In fact, the goal of the .NET Contacts service is to centralize your contacts list so that you can easily retrieve your contacts from your phone, PDA, or desktop email (or even a trusted Web site) without having to worry about synchronization or duplication.

But perhaps the best thing about .NET My Services is you can create this request using Python and XML on Linux."
