Diego, obrigado pela referencia em Java, segui seu raciocinio e tive sucesso. Aproveito para parabenizar a todos os desenvolvedores do ScadaBR pelo excelente trabalho.
Segue a solução:
#download and install suds http://pypi.python.org/pypi/suds
#Create Data source name: machine1, type: "Virtual Data Source"
#Create Data Point name(type):
#counterProduct(Numeric/No change)
#enableMachine(Binary/No change)
#operatorID(Alphanumeric/No change)

#types are created as follows:

Ainda falta testar outros métodos, se no parâmetro de entrada houver necessidade de anyType, devo pedir sua colaboração para tentar contornar.
