Jeff Ortel (the suds maintainer) helped me with this on IRC (THANK YOU
JEFF!) and we ended up figuring out this gave me the desired behavior:
selector = client.factory.create('CampaignSelector')
selector.statsSelector = ' '
print client.get(selector)
Yes, you read right: that is setting statsSelector to a space. It then
sends this to google:
And google is perfectly happy with that: it returns all campaigns, all
statistics.
Thanks again Jeff and all the others for all your help!

Thanks for all your replies. I figured out that my SOAP library (suds,
in this case) is not sending an empty object, which the adwords API
requires. I'll talk to the suds developers to see how to work around
this.
Thanks again!

AdWords API Re: Inconsistency in docs, or not understanding a selector
Hi Joshua,
Pete is correct, you need to need to pass in an empty selector. Here
is an example using the PHP client library:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php/source/browse/trunk/examples/v200909/GetAllCampaigns.php
Also, ensure that the selector element has the correct namespace or
else it won't be recognized by the API server.
Best,

Yeah, I tried that too, and it threw the same error. Thanks for the
tip, though.

AdWords API Re: Inconsistency in docs, or not understanding a selector
I just create a new instance of a CampaignSelector and pass it in.
public List getAllCampaigns() throws Exception {
return get( new CampaignSelector() );
}
I don't know if you can approximate the same with PHP tho ...
