Question

I want to use Sharepoint with python (C-Python)

Has anyone tried this before ?

Answer 1

To get the wsdl :

import sys

# we use suds -> https://fedorahosted.org/suds
from suds import WebFault
from suds.client import *
import urllib2

# my 2 url conf
# url_sharepoint,url_NTLM_authproxy 
import myconfig as my 

# build url
wsdl = '_vti_bin/SiteData.asmx?WSDL'
url = '/'.join([my.url_sharepoint,wsdl])


# we need a NTLM_auth_Proxy -> http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/
# follow instruction and get proxy running
proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': my.url_NTLM_authproxy })
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler)

client = SoapClient(url, {'opener' : opener})

print client.wsdl

main (mean) problem: the sharepoint-server uses a NTLM-Auth [ :-( ] so i had to use the NTLM-Auth-Proxy

To Rob and Enzondio : THANKS for your hints !
