问题 如何使用Python调用Soap API

虽然我过去使用过API，但这是我尝试使用的第一个SOAP。我从SOAP教程中复制，粘贴和更改了一些代码，但我已经看到它在10个不同的示例中以10种不同的方式完成，但没有一个在解释代码时非常清楚。也许以下代码不是最好的方法，但这就是为什么我正在寻找一些帮助和明确的方向进入。非常感谢。

import string, os, sys, httplib

server_addr = "auctions.godaddy.com"
service_action = "GdAuctionsBiddingWSAPI/GetAuctionList"

body = """
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns="http://www.example.com/services/wsdl/2.0">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns:serviceListRequest>
<ns:userInfo>
</ns:userInfo>
</ns:serviceListRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>"""

request = httplib.HTTPConnection(server_addr)
request.putrequest("POST", service_action)
request.putheader("Accept", "application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related, text/*")
request.putheader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8")
request.putheader("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
request.putheader("Pragma", "no-cache")
request.putheader("SOAPAction", "https://auctions.godaddy.com/gdAuctionsWSAPI/gdAuctionsBiddingWS.asmx?op=GetAuctionList" + server_addr + service_action)
request.putheader("Content-Length", "length")
request.putheader("apiKey", "xxxxxx")
request.putheader("pageNumber", "1")
request.putheader("rowsPerPage", "1")
request.putheader("beginsWithKeyword", "word")
request.endheaders()
request.send(body)
response = request.getresponse().read()

print response
