SOAP.py and complex types

[David Levy]

Hi

I am using Python to call Web Services, with SOAP.py (0.9.7) library
However I can't figure how to use it when input messages requires user
defined types like the one for the new Amazon web service :
http://soap.amazon.com/schemas/AmazonWebServices.wsdl

does anyone know how to do it ?

Thanks

it out:

thanks
that's cool

but he is not using the SOAP interface actually !
one the HTTP GET (url passed parameters) one

so that just helps me for calling Amazon but no others complex web services
... :(

I had some issues with this as well...

My problems were solved using by including the typename in the
structType.

soapobj=SOAP.structType(data=structdat, name=(namespace, myname))

where 'myname' is the type name of the object to pack, i.e. "Details"

Hope this helps.
