SOAPpy.Types.faultType: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array

[Tamer Higazi]

Chris!
I did what you said before in several ways.

The last way was putting the user and password directly into the dict as
parameter ALWAYS ends up telling me, that I cannot use object of
standard type class as ARRAY....

I did it this time with suds. So packaging issue is now out of scope,
and always the same headache.


now tell me what this error might tell me:


suds.WebFault: Server raised fault: 'Cannot use object of type stdClass
as array'
File "/storage/PyProjects/toolsAPP/python/KASUpdate2.py", line 23, in
<module>
  KasObj = KASSystem()
File "/storage/PyProjects/toolsAPP/python/KASUpdate2.py", line 20, in
__init__
  'SessionUpdateLifeTime':'Y'})
File
"/storage/PyENV/lin/toolsENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suds-0.4-py2.7.egg/suds/client.py",
line 542, in __call__
File
"/storage/PyENV/lin/toolsENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suds-0.4-py2.7.egg/suds/client.py",
line 602, in invoke

File
"/storage/PyENV/lin/toolsENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suds-0.4-py2.7.egg/suds/bindings/binding.py",
line 265, in get_fault


and when I open the python files they hand me out only the error
messages, which was sent back from Server!

here is the code:

import hashlib
from suds.client import Client
from suds import WebFault

class KASSystem:
    def __init__(self):
        WSDL_AUTH = 'https://kasapi.kasserver.com/soap/wsdl/KasAuth.wsdl'
        WSDL_API = 'https://kasapi.kasserver.com/soap/wsdl/KasApi.wsdl'

        m = hashlib.sha1()
        m.update('userpass')

        SoapClient = Client(WSDL_AUTH)

        SoapClient.service.KasAuth({
            'KasUser':'userlogin',
            'KasAuthType':'sha1',
            'KasPassword':m.hexdigest(),
            'SessionLifeTime':1800,
            'SessionUpdateLifeTime':'Y'})


KasObj = KASSystem()
