I was having some issues with suds, so in case someone comes across this, here is my alternative:

    from zeep import Client

    # http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/technicalInformation.html
    client = Client('http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl')

    # Returns a dict-like object with the fields 'countryCode', 'vatNumber',
    # 'requestDate', 'valid' (boolean), 'name', and 'address'.
    result = client.service.checkVat(country, number)
