Hi Max,
Thanks for all the postings. I need some help to get things started. I first looked at the Python SF integration toolkit using ZSI, and realize that seems to be too complicated. Without trying, I decided to go the SOAPpy route.
I tried to use the sample codes, then I ran into the following problems:
Do you experience anything similar to that? Any pointer? Thank you.
A note, we are running a very old version of Python (2.1.3), so I am also running SOAPpy 0.11.1. Upgrading the version is not an option for this project, maybe in the future...
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards
Elaine
I was using Python 2.3, SOAPpy 0.11.6, salesforce.com API 4.0 and partner.wsdl (the one that is common across all companies that use salesforce.com)
It looks like it fails when XMLSchema parses enterprise.wsdl file. You may want to try using partner.wsdl instead.
Also, for deep debugging I would recommend using Wing IDE (http://wingware.com/)

Hi Max,
That is very helpful. After some tweak, I got pass the problem but fail in log. I got a Internal 500 error back without any information to help me further investigate. Here is the trace which I also output the payload before calling.
==================================================================
==================================================================
Any suggestion? Thank you. I have checked the login and password, which are correct. So close yet so far...
Best Regards
Elaine
I have re-built partner.wsdl from salesforce.com and run the sample. Here is the trace:

=== Finish dump ===
I believe it may have something to do with SOAP Service End Point, there may not be a service processing your request. Check your WSDL:
<!-- Soap Service Endpoint -->
<service name="SforceService">
<documentation>Sforce SOAP API</documentation>
<port binding="tns:SoapBinding" name="Soap">
<soap:address location="https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/6.0"/>
</port>
</service>
Best regards,
Max
Using Max's original example, near the top with similar lines, add:
WSDL.Config.simplify_objects = 1
WSDL.Config.typed = 0
simplify_objects auto-unpacks responses into Python dictionaries so you don't have to do it with the response objects' _asdict() call every time. This is especially nice when the response has nested structures, such as with describeSObject.
typed (among other things) affects how lists are passed when making SOAP calls. If types is true, lists elements are wrapped as an arrayType which the sforce web service does not like. As a result, you cannot do a retrieve on a list of object IDs, for example. Setting this to False (or 0) alters this behavior so that a list is sent as a series of like-named elements, in accordance the soap message examples found in the resources section of sforce.com.
Finally, when doing a multiple-ID retrieve (or delete, I presume), you must ensure that the ID list is unique. If a duplicate exists, SOAPpy sends a badly broken message to sforce which replies with an INVALID_SESSION_ID fault. This seems like a strange response and it makes no sense unless you look at the dreck that SOAPpy inadvertantly has sent.
