Sep 14, 2009pycontrol source & Python 2.6
We are trying to use pyControl here in our environment which is exclusively Ubuntu Server. We have a strict rule of packaging *everything* that we install & we are also migrating entirely to Python 2...

Sep 20, 2009Unfortunately these are all problems with the ZSI library that pyControl wraps, and there's no indication of a fix (the classes you refer to aren't actually used by the way, only the 'types' classes that ZSI generates dynamically. ZSI produces them anyhow, which is a bug IMO). I looked into this and truthfully it looks like it'll mean re-implementing the chunks of ZSI used, which simply isn't worth it.
I strongly suggest using the Suds library, which is superior to ZSI and is what pyControl2 will be based on. As of now, it looks very much like pyControl is stuck on 2.5 permanently, as I don't think ZSI is actively maintained.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but such is the world of SOAP with Python. It's been a pain from day one - hopefully Suds will fix all of this.
