 This interface should have the following attributes:
  - An easy to use class providing operations of a service
    defined in https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Services_API
  - Usage of soap operations and data types retrieved from the 'WSDL'
    file provided by MythTV (see link above).
  - Automatically translate data types to/from the xml tree
    from/to the data types used in the MythTV Python Bindings,
    e.g. datetime, int, float, boolean types etc. are converted
    from/to strings of the xml elements.
  - Seamless integration to the existing bindings.
  - Usage of the existing 'services-api' module as transport layer.
  - Simple caching per session of the wsdl structure.
  - No additional dependencies, no additional python packages required.\\
    Note: This may change in future, once a python package providing
    soap operations (like python-zeep) gets broader acceptance.

 Cons: Python3 only, because MythTV deprecated python2 already.
