I'm trying to call a SOAP service from the Dutch government land register (WSDL here) with PySimpleSoap. So far I did this to connect:
from pysimplesoap.client import SoapClient
client = SoapClient(wsdl='http://www1.kadaster.nl/1/schemas/kik-inzage/20141101/verzoekTotInformatie-2.1.wsdl')
and with the help of an awesome answer by Plamen Petrov I now understand I need to send the xml below using the client.VerzoekTotInformatie() method.
What I do not understand however, is how I can get the desired XML (see below). I can of course build it manually, but I've got the feeling that there is a smarter/more pythonic way of constructing that. Can I use pysimplesoap to construct this message xml?
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://www.kadaster.nl/schemas/kik-inzage/20141101" xmlns:v20="http://www.kadaster.nl/schemas/kik-inzage/ip-aanvraag/v20141101">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>

<v20:Aanvraag>

</v20:Object>
</v20:Ingang>
</v20:Aanvraag>
</ns:VerzoekTotInformatieRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
[EDIT]
Following the examples in the docs I now try adding the VerzoekTotInformatieRequest with a berichtversie in it, after which I tried to do a request to the soap-service. But as you can see below, the body still only has an empty <VerzoekTotInformatie> (no Request in it), plus I get a massive error. Any ideas how I can build the message above?
>>> client['VerzoekTotInformatieRequest'] = {'Aanvraag': {'berichtversie': 'yay'}}
>>> c.VerzoekTotInformatie()

Constructing xml is not the necessary (or correct) way to call a soap method. PySimpleSoap has already provided quite an elegant and human-readable way to do this:
client = SoapClient(wsdl='http://www1.kadaster.nl/1/schemas/kik-inzage/20141101/verzoekTotInformatie-2.1.wsdl', trace=True)
client.VerzoekTotInformatie(Aanvraag={'berichtversie':4.7,
'klantReferentie':'cum murmure',
'productAanduiding': 'aeoliam venit'})
The debug log would be like this:

As you can see, the xml is automatically constructed and sent to server. However I got 401: Unauthorized error, which you may know how to fix.
