How to send a file through Soap in python?

Question

I want to send a zip file through SOAP (from a SOAP client to a SOAP server) in python.

Following the reading of this SO question, I choose to use suds as my python

Answer 1

Download the provided wrapper, and then where you would normally say something like...

client.service.fooMethod(fooParam1,fooParam2,...)

...instead do...

soap_attachments.with_soap_attachment(client.service.fooMethod,binaryParam,fooParam1,fooParam2,...)

Where binaryParam is of the type expected by soap_attachements.py. For example, if you wanted to send a png image I think (never done this) you would do:

imageFile = open('imageFile.png','rb')
imageData = imageFile.read()
mimeType = 'image/png'
binaryParam = (imageData, uuid.uuid4(), mimeType)
