[Soap-Python] Default values for parameters

[azurIt]

Thanks, i created new issue.

That lxml validation fixed few things (for example when i send string to Integer parameter) but parameters count is still a problem. Also String(nillable=True) doesn't seems to have any effect. I tried:

@rpc(String(nillable=False), String(nillable=False), _returns=String)
def testf(self, first, second):

calling (SUDS):
client.service.testf("aaa", "")
client.service.testf("aaa", None)
client.service.testf("aaa")

Everything passes and function gets None as second argument in all cases.
