I'm in the same case, with a RPC/encoded style WS and a method that contains a soap array. a print request (where request = client.factory.create('Request')) gives:

(Request){
  requestid = None
  option = 
    (ArrayOfOption){
     _arrayType = ""
     _offset = ""
     _id = ""
     _href = ""
     _arrayType = ""
  }
 }

The solution given by Jacques (1request.option.append(option1)1) does not work, as it ends with an error message ArrayOfOption instance has no attribute append.

The solution given by mcauth looks like this:

array = client.factory.create('ArrayOfOption')
array.item = [option1,  option2,  option3,  option4,  option5,  option6]
request.option=array

It works so so, as the resulting SOAP message shows no arrayType attribute:

The best solution I found is also the simplest:

request.option = [option1,  option2,  option3,  option4,  option5,  option6]

It ends with a good SOAP message:

as expected by the server side WS.
