How to use a complex type from a WSDL with zeep in Python

Question

I have a WSDL that contains a complex type like so:

Answer 1

The client.get_type() method returns a 'type constructor' that you can later use to construct the value. You need to assign the constructed value to a separate variable and use that variable in the method invocation:

wsdl = "https://wsdl.location.com/?wsdl"
client = Client(wsdl=wsdl)
string_array_type = client.get_type('tns:string_array')
string_array = string_array_type(['some value'])
client.service.method(string_array)
