Unfortunately, yes.
This is one of the reasons why we made the specification protocol-agnostic, and allowed support for multiple protocols.

DIME was the early standard for transferring data as SOAP attachments, which has now been replaced by MTOM.
However, at the moment there are only a few language libraries that support MTOM.

With an Axis2 service, you could support both, use DIME in the client for now, and then replace the client with an MTOM one when the Python libraries become available. The service could 'offer' both options, and the client picks whichever it can understand.

Hope this helps,
Dave
