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

I thought I'd share a pretty simple update on the solution above that should work for any WSDL: Note that the sending method is not necessary - it's so that you can audit your changes, as the Client's debug request printing fires before the marshal method runs.

class XMLBS_Plugin(MessagePlugin):
def marshalled(self, context):
    def w(x):
        if x.isempty():
            print "EMPTY: ", x
            x.detach()

    context.envelope.walk(w)

def sending(self,context):
    c = copy.deepcopy(context.envelope)
    c=c.replace('><','>\n<') # some sort of readability
    logging.info("SENDING: \n%s"%c)
