This is kind of obscure because it's rare.  The suds.sudsobject.Property class is for 
mixed content.  You can create as:

from suds.sudsobject import Property
p = Property('bar')
p._n = 'foo'  # <-- attribute

Or, using the factory:

p = client.factory.craete('ParamType')
p.value = 'bar'
p._n = 'foo'

The factory will see that it is a mixed element and create a property.

The marshaller knows to marshal Property objects as:

<P n="foo">bar</P>
