[Fedora-suds-list] print client does not show types of results of methods

[Rod Montgomery]

 From browsing the Suds source code, I get the impression that Suds does not even use the type info specified in the WSDL 
files for the results of methods. It just parses whatever XML comes back from the service, converts it to a corresponding 
Pythonic data structure, and returns that.

I guess that's ok, except that it means that, to understand what comes back, I have to dig through the WSDL files.

Do any other SOAP clients -- Pythonic or not -- actually use the WSDL-specified method-result types? For what?

For error detection, how useful would it be to have a "result type does not match type declared in WSDL files" exception 
thrown at the point where the result comes back, rather than maybe have some random no-such-member exception(s) thrown while 
trying to process the result?

How annoying would it be, to have a "result type does not match..." exception thrown, when the mismatch would not have 
affected the proper operation of the client code anyway?

I wonder whether I could make Suds just remember the declared type of each method result, and display it in the "print 
client" output, purely as human-readable documentation? Maybe just tack another element onto the tuple that represents each 
method in the .ports member of the suds.servicedefinition.ServiceDefinition class, and pick it up for display in the 
description  member function of that class?
