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

[Tim Callaghan]

Ultimately, this is the Envelope I need to generate for my first
integration. From there I'll be doing substantially more complicated ones
(payload wise) with respect to the amount of XML I need to generate inside
the Body.

It's probably just a few well constructed lines of code, I can't figure
them out.

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:v2="http://www.no-web-site.com/webservices/sales/v2" xmlns:sys="
http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <v2:GetOrders>
         <v2:request xmlns:v2="
http://www.no-web-site.com/webservices/sales/v2">
            <v2:BusinessDate>2015-04-24T00:00:00</v2:BusinessDate>
         </v2:request>
      </v2:GetOrders>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
