[Fedora-suds-list] Failed to construct the parameter to use VMWare ESXi function.

[Leslie Rong]

Hi, all,

I am the beginner to use suds.

Now I encoutnter one problem when using suds to send operation request to
VMWare VSphere Server.  May I get your help on this issue.

I couldnt' use suds to construct the argument to be used by VMWare ESX
functton "*RetrieveServiceContent". *
**
The parameter xml should be "<_this
type="ServiceInstance">ServiceInstance</_this>".

How can I use suds to construct this kind of function parameter?


I pasted my script, error output, wsdl.  Here

_sjc=client.service.RetrieveServiceContent(mor)
