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

[Mariano Reingart]

You can try the following:

XML = """
<v2:GetOrders xmlns:v2="%s">
  <v2:request>
    <v2:BusinessDate>2015-04-24T00:00:00</v2:BusinessDate>
  </v2:request>
</v2:GetOrders>
""" % namespaceValue
bd = SimpleXMLElement(XML)

response = client.call("GetOrders", bd)

Best regards,
