Python: Create a high level interface to the existing 'services-api' module.

[rcrdnalor]

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.
