[Joshua Boverhof]

I think this is what you want.

------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from ZSI.client import Binding
from ZSI import TC

u = '/WebService.jws'
n = 'http://www.openuri.org/'
b = Binding(url=u, ns=n, host='localhost', port=7001, tracefile=sys.stdout)

class MyInt(int):
    typecode = TC.Integer('empno')

empnum=MyInt(123)
result=b.methodName(empnum)
print result


-----------------------------------

<methodName>
<empno xsi:type="xsd:integer">123</empno>
</methodName>
