[suds] how to convert a sudsobject into its representative XML?

[Phlip]

[The SUDS mailing list is clogged with spam. F'k'n arms race.]

I'm trying to write a unit test on a view that will respond to SOAPist
commands.

To get there, the test must pass XML as if a SOAP client had cooked it
up and sent it over the wire.

So I have a auth object, like this:

wsdl = path(__file__).dirname() / 'QBWebConnectorSvc.wsdl'
wsdl_uri = 'file://' + str(wsdl)
client = Client(wsdl_uri)
auth = client.factory.create('authenticate')
auth.strUserName = 'test'
auth.strPassword = 'password'

Okay, now call _what_, on or around auth, to convert it to its XML?

I'm sure this is easy, because the SUDS internals must do this all the
time, right?

The answer is to use ZSI instead, then call:

sw = SoapWriter()
sw.serialize(msg)
