How to start with suds and JIRA?

[Rene]

Hi,

Having used some of the other libs to write a Python SOAP client, I
stumbled upon suds.
A relief to see something that's actively being developed, not
dependent on outdated libs, and looks easy to use :)
And that's exactly what I need.
I don't want to become a SOAP expert, my focus is on the client logic.
Alas, I hit my first problem.

I want to write a client for JIRA (www.atlassian.com).
Atlassian exposes their own JIRA instance to the public, so you can
test the client against their JIRA.
To get access you need to login as user 'soaptester' with password
'soaptester'.
Anyone can run this code:

  import logging
  from suds.client import Client
  logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
  url = 'http://jira.atlassian.com/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2?wsdl'
  client = Client(url)
  # Login
  auth = client.service.login('soaptester', 'soaptester')
  # Try to retrieve user information
  user = client.service.getUser(auth, 'soaptester')
  print user

This results in:

  ERROR:suds.resolver:(@href) not-found
  WARNING:suds.bindings.unmarshaller:attribute (href) type, not-found
  (RemoteUser){
     _href = "#id0"
   }

I'm probably missing something stoopidly basic.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Rene,

Alright, just tried this and works using the latest suds version 0.3.2 
on trunk.  After looking at your error a little more closely, it seems 
you're using suds 0.3.1 (or earlier).  So, to work with this service you 
need to install the latest (development) version.  I added a new section 
for early development releases under the download section on the project 
wiki ( https://fedorahosted.org/suds/ ).

Regards,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I was indeed using 0.3.1 (should have mentioned that...).
Downloaded 0.3.2 and can confirm my code example is working.

Now hitting another problem, not sure yet if it's my stupidity or a
suds problem ;)
