[Fedora-suds-list] Array confusion

[Jeff Ortel]

The soap encoded (section 5) arrays are really stupid and are overly complex definitions 
for collections.

They are defined (basically) as:

<complexType>
   <sequence>
     <xs:any maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
   </sequence>
</complexType>

So, what you need to pass is a suds object that has an attribute with the value that is a 
python list|tuple.

You can do:

offer_array = self.client.factory.create('ns1:ArrayOfInt')
offer_array.item = [999,]

or

from suds.sudsobject import Object
offer_array = Object()
offer_array.item = [999,]

and it should work.  Or, at least it does with my axis servers.

The 'item' attribute is arbitrary.  Doesn't matter what you name it because it is defined 
as <xs:any/>

Hope this helps.
