[Fedora-suds-list] Problem parsing a wsdl

Wed Nov 4 16:44:51 UTC 2009

Hi

I'm very new to suds, so appologise in advance if I'm missing something 
obvious.  I'm running version 0.3.7 under Windows with python 2.6.

I tried running the following:

from suds.client import Client
c=Client('https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl')

I got the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\suds\client.py", line 109, in __init__

uds-649682136.http:10:2: mismatched tag

The contents of the file refference by the last line are:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/strict.dtd">

Something's clearly gone wrong as it surely shouldn't be fetching HTML 
files.  However I think its unlikely that there would be a problem with 
the wsdl so I suspect its either a problem with suds or with my usage of it.

Any help will be much appreciated.
