Hello All,
first of all thanks all for the examples and the code you are providing. I'm not a programmer at all and tried to get a Little script running, just to get a phone from CUCM. That I would then use as a start for further Needs.
But I get all the time an error for that I cannot find a solution. 
CUCM 10.5
Windows Server (where python is installed)
Here is my code:
from suds.xsd.doctor import Import
from suds.xsd.doctor import ImportDoctor
from suds.client import Client
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logging.getLogger('suds.client').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
cmserver = 'server'
cmport = '8443'
wsdl = 'file:///C:/Python27/CUCM/schema/current/AXLAPI.wsdl'
location = 'https://' + cmserver + ':' + cmport + '/axl'
username = 'username'
password = 'password'
# Define Authentication header to be appended to SOAP Requests to avoid 401 Unauthorized Response from CUCM
base64string = base64.encodestring('{}:{}'.format(username, password)).replace('\n', '')
authentication_header = {
"SOAPAction" : "ActionName",
"Authorization": "Basic {}".format(base64string)
}
tns = 'http://schemas.cisco.com/ast/soap/'
imp = Import('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/', 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/')
imp.filter.add(tns)
client = Client(wsdl,location=location,faults=False,plugins=[ImportDoctor(imp)],
headers=authentication_header)
result = client.service.getPhone(name='SEP00B0E15FD2D7', returnedTags={'name'})
print result
Here the Result incl. error message I get:
>>> DEBUG:suds.client:sending to (https://ccmserver:8443/axl)

soapenv.promotePrefixes()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'promotePrefixes'
I see, that the Connection and authentication to CUCM is working, but I get the AttributeError and don't know how to solve that.
Can you help?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards

Hello all,
Nice to see this one popping up every now and then 
For what it's worth, I have abandoned using SUDs or any other framework, just too much work to get it running. Zeep was working well after the author tweaked it a bit, but it still takes like 10secs to load the wsdl ... which might be ok for a script, but running it for a webpage, that's just too long.
I have written a quick mockup class which will create the SOAP XML content itself, based on the given function name and an argument dict. It's using quick and dirty dicttoxml and xmltodict to do the magic ...
Of course, there's no stubs are anything similar, so you need to figure out the arguments (and their behaviour) from the wsdl yourself (or use the AXL Schema reference), but I find once you get the hand of it, they are all very similar
BUT it is superfast as it doesn't need to load the huge wsdl and totally independant of any heavy weight soap framework ... and only a couple lines of code !
Have a look at:https://github.com/jseynaev-cisco/ucmaxlapi
there's a couple of 'test' cases in the __main__ that you can run safely. I tested these in both Python2 and Python3 ... so that's another plus
Leave some comments/suggestions if you like, it's called 'Raw' for a reason, but I'll probably add some functions to wrap some of the calls I use most commonly (like the executeSQLQuery, which is a bit of an odd one out anyways) or add some helpers to get the output in a list or csv string ...
Kind regards,
Jan.
Hi again,
ah. Ok. That was my mistake. I wanted to add the URL, username and Password directly in the script. And that did not work.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
