How to construct SOAP message with pysimplesoap?

Question

I\'m trying to call a SOAP service from the Dutch government land register (WSDL here) with PySimpleSoap. So far I did this to connect:

from pysimplesoap.client

Constructing xml is not the necessary (or correct) way to call a soap method. PySimpleSoap has already provided quite an elegant and human-readable way to do this:

client = SoapClient(wsdl='http://www1.kadaster.nl/1/schemas/kik-inzage/20141101/verzoekTotInformatie-2.1.wsdl', trace=True)
client.VerzoekTotInformatie(Aanvraag={'berichtversie':4.7, 
                                      'klantReferentie':'cum murmure', 
                                      'productAanduiding': 'aeoliam venit'})

The debug log would be like this:

INFO:pysimplesoap.client:POST https://service1.kadaster.nl/kik/inzage/20141101/VerzoekTotInformatieService
DEBUG:pysimplesoap.client:SOAPAction: "VerzoekTotInformatie"
Content-length: 842
Content-type: text/xml; charset="UTF-8"
DEBUG:pysimplesoap.client:

    
        
            
                
                    4.7000000000
                    cum murmure
                    aeoliam venit
                
            
        

As you can see, the xml is automatically constructed and sent to server. However I got 401: Unauthorized error, which you may know how to fix.
