I'm trying to use suds to create a SOAP request. The request includes a hyphenated field. Python won't let me set to hyphenated variables. Is there a way around this? Don't tell me to use an underscore because the SOAP server won't recognize it.
The request is supposed to look like this: <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <scma:user-verified-media-request xmlns:scma="http:// services.bamnetworks.com/media/types/2.0"> <scma:event-id>164-251340-2009-03-12</scma:event-id> <scma:subject>LIVE_EVENT_COVERAGE</scma:subject> </scma:user-verified-media-request> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Working my way through suds, I have something like this: >>> event = client.factory.create('ns0:UserVerifiedEvent') >>> print event (UserVerifiedEvent){ event-id = None user-verified-content[] = <empty> domain-specific-attributes = (MediaAttributes){ domain-attribute[] = <empty> } } >>> event.event-id = "164-251340-2009-03-12" SyntaxError: can't assign to operator And there's my problem. I don't know how to set event-id within the UserVerifiedEvent because of that hyphen. For anyone who knows suds and SOAP, here's the wsdl to get you this far: >>> import suds >>> from suds.client import Client >>> url = 'http://www.mlb.com/flash/mediaplayer/v4/wsdl/MediaService.wsdl' >>> client = Client(url) Any ideas or python magic to get around this hyphen problem (and I can't change that to event_id or the server won't recognize it.)
