Web API and Python

Hi John,

I think it may be a problem with the WSDL document.

Try saving a static version and change this line:

<s:import namespace="http://microsoft.com/wsdl/types/" />

to this:

<s:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" />

Then point your code at that static version. Let me know if you'd like help with any of this.

P.S. What version of suds do you have installed? It looks like the newest version has a "schema doctor" that can help fix schema errors like this.

Hi Morgan,

Thanks for your help!

I saved the asmx as a file and made that replacement (hope that was right), but now I'm getting a different error..

Here's the code..

from suds import WebFault
from suds.client import Client
 
client = Client('C:\Documents and Settings\jstephenson\My Documents\python scripts\Tessitura.asmx')

#client = Client('http://localhost/webservice_test/Tessitura.asmx')
 
print client

..and error..

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise URLError('unknown url type: %s' % type)

Looks like 0.3.4. I checked and I don't think I have it (importing it in my code fails.)

I'll try upgrading it.

Thanks again!

Hmmm... looks like it's expecting a URL, not a local path. Could you serve up the file via http?

   -Morgan

Yea. I got that to work, using a file URL..

from suds import WebFault
from suds.client import Client

client = Client('file:///C|/Documents and Settings/jstephenson/My Documents/python scripts/Tessitura.asmx')
print client

I also tried to get ImportDoctor to work (after upgrading SUDS) but I can't seem to get the statements right. Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead (-:

Thanks so much for your help!

John

Not that this is applicable seeing as the RESTful API is out there now; but for anyone searching in the future here is the suds setup, with doctor, required for python :

url = '' #WSDL url; for tessitura this is usually ?WSDL

imp = Import('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema',

    location='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd')

imp.filter.add('http://tessiturasoftware.com/')

doctor = ImportDoctor(imp)

client = Client(url, doctor=doctor)
