Suds Library Required

Installing packages using pip and virtual environments¶. This guide discusses how to install packages using pip and a virtual environment manager: either venv for Python 3 or virtualenv for Python 2. Suds library for Robot Framework Introduction. This is just a manual Python 3 port of the same Python27 package. SudsLibrary is a library for functional testing of SOAP-based web services. SudsLibrary is based on Suds, a dynamic SOAP 1.1 client. See the Keyword Documentation for more information about using the library.

RLCSA [4, 3, 7]is a compressed suffix array implementation that has been optimized for highlyrepetitive text collections. Examples of such collections include version control dataand individual genomes. This implementation also serves as a testbed for many techniquesused with compressed suffix arrays.The most up-to-date description of RLCSA can be found in [7].

The current version includes experimental support for:

LCP information [5]
Distribution-aware sampling [6, 9]
Adaptive distribution-aware sampling
Space-efficient document listing [8]

See README in the package for further information.The implementation is available for download under the MIT / X11 License.

There is also a separate package containing implementations of additional document retrieval algorithms:

Brute-force document listing and top-k document retrieval.
New variants of PDL for document listing and top-k document retrieval [10].
Several variants of Sadakane's algorithm for document listing.

Full experimental results from [10] are also included in the document listing package.

Current versions

RLCSA (April 2014)
Document listing (April 2014)

RLCSA

April 2014. A minor bug fix version to support the April 2014 version of the document listing package.
January 2014. This version includes a more consistent interface, faster SA construction for small alphabets, and some additions to the library. Required by January 2014 version of the doclist package.
May 2013. This version contains a simplified construction program for a single file as well as improved document listing support. Most importantly, the grammar rules in precomputed document listing are no longer run-length encoded if that increases their size.
April 2013. This version includes preliminary support for document listing using precomputed answers. A modified web graph compressor (Hernández, Navarro; SPIRE 2012) is required for building the document listing structure. The source code for it is available upon request. This version was used for the experiments in [8].
January 2013. This version includes a multi-threaded sampling algorithm for finding (almost) optimal distribution-aware samples quickly. There is also some undocumented work on document listing with highly repetitive data. This version was used in the experiments in [9].
December 2012. This version has many technical changes from the earlier versions. This version is required by the December 2012 version of GCSA.
February 2012. Construction algorithm for partial indexes changed from multiple Larsson-Sadakane algorithms to a parallel prefix-doubling algorithm. Succinct bit vectors can be used instead of gap encoded ones to e.g. mark sampled positions. This version was used in the experiments in [7].
August 2011. Minor updates to some library functions. This version is required by the August 2011 version of GCSA.
May 2011. The low-level interface has been improved in this version. Weighted / distribution-aware sampling is now also supported. The test program has also been extended.
January 2011. This version has a low-level interface compatible with that of GCSA. Also, the default sample rate was changed to more realistic 128, and the test program supports patterns in Pizza&Chili format.
October 2010. This version supports libstdc++ parallel mode as an alternative to MCSTL. There are also some speed optimizations (an alternative encoding for run-length encoded bit vectors and improved display()).
March 2010. Fixed some problems when compiling with a new version of g++. RLCSA now uses iterators and const operations to make parallelization easier.
January 2010. Includes experimental support for LCP information. This version was used in the experiments reported in [5].
November 2009. A cleaned up version with more functionality.
June 2009. This version was used in the experiments reported in [3]. There are some bugs that were introduced when cleaning up the code. You should use the November 2009 version instead.

The full test environment from [10] is also available upon request. Note that setting it up requires much manual work, and some of the implementations use 32-bit libraries.

A fast and modern Python SOAP client

Highlights:

Compatible with Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and PyPy
Build on top of lxml and requests
Support for Soap 1.1, Soap 1.2 and HTTP bindings
Support for WS-Addressing headers
Support for WSSE (UserNameToken / x.509 signing)
Support for asyncio via httpx
Experimental support for XOP messages

A simple example:

Quick Introduction¶

Zeep inspects the WSDL document and generates the corresponding code to use theservices and types in the document. This provides an easy to use programmaticinterface to a SOAP server.

The emphasis is on SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, however Zeep also offers support forHTTP Get and Post bindings.

Parsing the XML documents is done by using the lxml library. This is the mostperformant and compliant Python XML library currently available. This resultsin major speed benefits when processing large SOAP responses.

The SOAP specifications are unfortunately really vague and leave a lot ofthings open for interpretation. Due to this there are a lot of WSDL documentsavailable which are invalid or SOAP servers which contain bugs. Zeep tries tobe as compatible as possible but there might be cases where you run intoproblems. Don’t hesitate to submit an issue in this case (but please firstread Reporting bugs).

Installation¶

Zeep is a pure-python module. This means that there is no C code which needsto be compiled. However the lxml dependency does contain C code since it useslibxml2 and libxslt. For linux/bsd this means you need to install libxml2-devand libxslt-dev packages. For Windows this is unfortunately a bit morecomplicated. The easiest way is to install lxml via wheel files since thatcontains already compiled code for your platform.

To install wheel files you need a recent pip client. Seehttps://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ how to install pip on your platform.

If you have installed pip then run:

Note that the latest version to support Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 is Zeep 3.4,install via pip install zeep3.4.0

This assumes that there are wheel files available for the latest lxml release.If that is not the case (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/) then firstinstall lxml 4.2.5 since that release should have the wheel files for allplatforms:

When you want to use wsse.Signature() you will need to install the pythonxmlsec module. This can be done by installing the xmlsec extras:

For the asyncio support in Python 3.6+ the httpx module is required, thiscan be installed with the async extras:

Getting started¶

The first thing you generally want to do is inspect the wsdl file you need toimplement. This can be done with:

See python-mzeep--help for more information about this command.

Note

Zeep follows semver for versioning, however bugs can always occur.So as always pin the version of zeep you tested with(e.g. zeep4.0.0’).

A simple use-case¶

To give you an idea how zeep works a basic example.

The WSDL used above only defines one simple function (Method1) which ismade available by zeep via client.service.Method1. It takes two argumentsand returns a string. To get an overview of the services available on theendpoint you can run the following command in your terminal.
