What steps will reproduce the problem?

Just run the example for VIES: >>> import vatnumber >>> vatnumber.check_vies('BE0897290877')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should return "True". Returns "HTTP Error 404: Not Found"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu 10.10, Python2.6, virtualenv.

Please provide any additional information below.

(The unit test fails too, obviously)

The url is wrong: (init.py:10) VIES_URL='http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/service/checkVatService.wsdl'

It should be: VIES_URL='http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl'

I understand they changed the url at some point.

PS: thanks for the script!
