I believe the factory (based on the schema) will create and return a 
suds.sudsobject.Property object which has a 'value' attribute that is not in the keylist. 
  Try setting the value and type as:

 > mor._type = 'foo'
 > mor.value = 'bar'

and then:

 > print mor
(Property){
    value = "foo"
    _type = "bar"
  }

Is this true in your case?

Simple types that have attributes are quite rare and the Property class was developed for 
exactly this case.

hope this helps,

Jeff
