Suds generates empty elements; how to remove them?

Question

[Major Edit based on experience since 1st post two days ago.]

I am building a Python SOAP/XML script using Suds, but am struggling to get the code to generate SOAP/X

Answer 1

The Suds factory method generates a regular Python object with regular python attributes that map to the WSDL type definition.

You can use the 'del' builtin function to remove attributes.

>>> order_details = c.factory.create('ns2:OrderDetails')
>>> order_details
(OrderDetails){
   Amount = None
   CurrencyCode = None
   OrderChannelType =
      (OrderChannelType){
         value = None
      }
   OrderDeliveryType =
      (OrderDeliveryType){
         value = None
      }
   OrderLines =
      (ArrayOfOrderLine){
         OrderLine[] = 
      }
   OrderNo = None
   TotalOrderValue = None
 }
>>> del order_details.OrderLines
>>> del order_details.OrderDeliveryType
>>> del order_details.OrderChannelType
>>> order_details
(OrderDetails){
   Amount = None
   CurrencyCode = None
   OrderNo = None
   TotalOrderValue = None
 }
