Howdy,
I've experienced some issues with the FedEx shipping module and
sending to international addresses.
I also found some threads here (2008, 2009) in the group that explain
it's due to the state field and response.
Is this still the case? I suppose I better jump in and help as this is
pretty important to have working.
Anyone else working on this?

I imagine the issues are still there. I don't think the module has been touched in a while. The good news is that I doubt the issues are that huge to resolve - mostly templating I suspect.
The problem with these modules is that it's hard to test and keep up with if you're not actively using them (and I'm not at this time.)
Anyway, any patches or fixes would be appreciated and incorporated.

I rewrote the Fedex shipping module to use their newer SOAP API. I was
having quite a few problems with the included one (don't remember the
issues now) so I called their support line. After a good bit of
confusion due to Satchmo using an older API, the tech guy told me that
this older API is deprecated and will be turned off in about 2 years.
In the end, I decided to just rewrite it.
I'd be happy to contribute this code back to Satchmo, but:

- I make no claim that the code is good (I copied the current module & hacked it up)
- it has a few site-specific hacks in it
- it requires the suds SOAP module
- I need to clear it with my boss first ;)

Yes, I'm interested in it! I've done a tiny bit of hacking to the
FedEx module myself and it wasn't fun.

I would also be interested to see this, I was about to embark on
building a new fedex shipping module using the SOAP api as I'm
building a store that needs full fedex functionality (ground, express,
and international + generating shipping labels)
Hopefully your boss will let you release it :) Otherwise, I'll build
my own and submit it back to satchmo... either way, just let me know
Thanks,

I didn't test it after I took out my site-specific hacks, so there's a
(small) chance it won't "just work". Also, this is for Satchmo 0.9, I
don't know how well it would work on 0.9.1. If nothing else, it's a
starting point - I know it could use some caching to speed it up.
Let me know how/if it works for you.

Hey, Thanks Chris!
I'll work at plugging this into my project.
Will keep notes and post back.
And using the new API. Very nice.

Hey Chris,
Im working on implementing this now. Seems to work perfect!
However, Im hitting some field errors. Was wondering if I could pick
everybody's brain...
1). I dropped in your fedex_soap into my satchmo's shipping modules
folder and updated settings.py to use it instead of the original.
2). I entered in a US address --worked nicely.
3). I added a Germany address... used "Berlin" for city field and
satchmo.log reports:
``Mon, 16 Aug 2010 11:25:19 fedex.shipper INFO Fedex Error:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Datatype error: In element
'StateOrProvinceCode' : Value 'Berlin' does not match regular
expression facet '[A-Z]{2}'.. - Code: 2106``
Seems like it's looking for a ``[A-Z]{2}`` and not the full name. Is
Satchmo missing these codes?
I also have a issue with Zip/Postal code for international addresses,
So I unchecked it as a requirement in Live Settings. Not sure if this
is fixing the actual problem.
So how should I deal with all the international possibilities?
Otherwise I assume your module is working. Thank you very very much.

Does anyone have any updates on this? I think it would be good to
have fedex working SOAP style since the old method is being
deprecated. I'm going to see if I can get this working in my store.
