I am by no means a ZSI expert. You may do better to join this list:
  https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pywebsvcs-talk
and ask there.

Glancing at some code using ZSI-2.1-a1 here I've got code like this:

  # MR refers to a complex type with a <loginResultList> component,
  # and that contains a list of <item> elements
  LRL = MR._loginResultList = MR.new_loginResultList()
  LRL._item = []
  for LI in RQ.get_element_LoginList():
    class item:
      ... fill in some class attributes ...
    LRL._item.append(item)

thus populating the <loginResultList> with <item> elements.
("item" is only a class for the convenience of having _foo attributes easy to
assign to).
