[Twisted-Python] Escaping variable names
Hi, Ive got an issue where a variable name needs to have a minus sign (-) in it. from SOAPpy import WSDL wsdlFile = "http://webapi.allegro.pl/uploader.php?wsdl" server = WSDL.Proxy(wsdlFile) server.soapproxy.config.argsOrdering = {'doGetCountries': ['country-code', 'webapi-key'] } server.doGetCountries(country-code=COUNTRYID}, webapi-key=WEBAPIKEY) The above method allows me to specify the order and name of variables being sent, but i have a problem since the variables have a "-" sign in the middle, is there a way to escape it in the variable name or get around the problem? Thanks!

Yes, you can pass them from a dictionary using the ** syntax: server.doGetCountries(**{ 'country-code': COUNTRYID, 'webapi-key': WEBAPIKEY }) However, if you have the ability to change the API, it would be better to use underscores as separators in the argument names instead of dashes. Bye, Maarten

server.doGetCountries(**{ 'country-code': COUNTRYID, 'webapi-key': WEBAPIKEY })
The above gives a syntax error...

Unfortunately the designer of the API is a large British company that forgot to take into account other languages than PHP.

What kind of syntax error? I tested this approached on the interactive Python shell and it worked fine there:
def f(**kvargs): ... print kvargs ... f(a = 1, **{'b-c': 12}) {'a': 1, 'b-c': 12}
