[Soap-Python] Can't get my request to work in pysimplesoap SoapClient

[Tim Callaghan]

I guess my question is really about how I do anything interesting with the
call method. At the moment it doesn't seem obvious how I create any
non-trivial XML to pass into it, other than simple key/value pairs. I'm
calling an API where I need to pass complex XML with nested structures.

If you can point me to an example I'd really appreciate it.
