From old forum thread here

I've made an EVE API wrapper for python.

You can find it here:
Python EVE API on Github

This wrapper has no external dependencies and will work with any Python version from 2.4 onward, and will likely work with future versions of the EVE API.

An extensive demonstration script is provided.

Feel free to post suggestions for improvements and bug reports here, or mail me ingame.

# Version: 1.1.9 - 2 September 2011
# - added workaround for row tags with attributes that were not defined
# in their rowset (this should fix AssetList)
#
# Version: 1.1.8 - 1 September 2011
# - fix for inconsistent columns attribute in rowsets.
#
# Version: 1.1.7 - 1 September 2011
# - auth() method updated to work with the new authentication scheme.
#
# Version: 1.1.6 - 27 May 2011
# - Now supports composite keys for IndexRowsets.
# - Fixed calls not working if a path was specified in the root url.
#
# Version: 1.1.5 - 27 Januari 2011
# - Now supports (and defaults to) HTTPS. Non-SSL proxies will still work by
# explicitly specifying http:// in the url.
#
# Version: 1.1.4 - 1 December 2010
# - Empty explicit CDATA tags are now properly handled.
# - _autocast now receives the name of the variable it's trying to typecast,
# enabling custom/future casting functions to make smarter decisions.
#
# Version: 1.1.3 - 6 November 2010
# - Added support for anonymous CDATA inside row tags. This makes the body of
# mails in the rows of char/MailBodies available through the .data attribute.
#
# Version: 1.1.2 - 2 July 2010
# - Fixed __str__ on row objects to work properly with unicode strings.
#
# Version: 1.1.1 - 10 Januari 2010
# - Fixed bug that causes nested tags to not appear in rows of rowsets created
# from normal Elements. This should fix the corp.MemberSecurity method,
# which now returns all data for members. [jehed]
#
# Version: 1.1.0 - 15 Januari 2009
# - Added Select() method to Rowset class. Using it avoids the creation of
# temporary row instances, speeding up iteration considerably.
# - Added ParseXML() function, which can be passed arbitrary API XML file or
# string objects.
# - Added support for proxy servers. A proxy can be specified globally or
# per api connection instance. [suggestion by graalman]
# - Some minor refactoring.
# - Fixed deprecation warning when using Python 2.6.
#
# Version: 1.0.7 - 14 November 2008
# - Added workaround for rowsets that are missing the (required!) columns
# attribute. If missing, it will use the columns found in the first row.
# Note that this is will still break when expecting columns, if the rowset
# is empty [Flux/Entity]
#
# Version: 1.0.6 - 18 July 2008
# - Enabled expat text buffering to avoid content breaking up [BigWhale]
#
# Version: 1.0.5 - 03 February 2008
# - Added workaround to make broken XML responses (like the "row:name" bug in
# eve/CharacterID) work as intended.
# - Bogus datestamps before the epoch in XML responses are now set to 0 to
# avoid breaking certain date/time functions. [Anathema Matou]
#
# Version: 1.0.4 - 23 December 2007
# - Changed _autocast() to use timegm() instead of mktime(). [Invisible Hand]
# - Fixed missing attributes of elements inside rows. [Elandra Tenari]
#
# Version: 1.0.3 - 13 December 2007
# - Fixed keyless columns bugging out the parser (in CorporationSheet for ex.)
#
# Version: 1.0.2 - 12 December 2007
# - Fixed parser not working with indented XML.
#
# Version: 1.0.1
# - Some micro optimizations
#
# Version: 1.0
# - Initial release
