[Fedora-suds-list] Forcing empty objects to send

[Joshua J. Kugler]

On Thursday 25 March 2010, Joshua J. Kugler elucidated thus:

Jeff Ortel helped me with this on IRC (THANK YOU!) and we ended up 
figuring out this gave me the desired behavior:

selector = client.factory.create('CampaignSelector')
selector.statsSelector = ' '
print client.get(selector)

Yes, you read right: that is setting statsSelector to a space.  It then 
sends this to google:

   <ns1:Body>
      <ns0:get>
         <ns0:selector>
            <ns0:statsSelector> </ns0:statsSelector>
         </ns0:selector>
      </ns0:get>
   </ns1:Body>

And google is perfectly happy with that: it returns all campaigns, all 
statistics.

Thanks again Jeff for all your help!
