Thanks :)

The enhancements discussed in 0.3.8 are not yet included in the documentation (looks like 
I need to get it updated).  What you're doing here is correct according to the 
documentation but does not take advantage of the 0.3.8 enhancements.  Based on your code 
and without seeing the WSDL, I'd suggest (think) you want to do:

def createParameter(client, name, value):
   item = client.factory.create('parameterValue')
   item.name = name
   spvi = client.factory.create('simpleParmValueItem')
   spvi.use = value
   item.value = [spvi]

In the 0.3.8 rpc/encoded enhancement, you no longer want (or need to) create the 
SOAP-ENC:Array.

You can also join me on IRC FreeNode #suds and we can discuss further.
