This is the whole method: def importer(self, file_name, import_groups, import_flags): soap_flags = self.dict_to_key_value(import_flags) try: # TODO figure out how to call this soap method with reserved name self.call_response = self.soap.import(self.soap_auth, file_name, import_groups, soap_flags) except Exception, e: method_name = sys._getframe().f_code.co_name method_args = '(%s,%s,%s)' %(file_name,str(import_groups),str(import_flags)) self.handle_exception(method_name + method_args,e) raise return self.call_response I tried to replace the import() call with these two lines: importFunc = getattr(self.soap, 'import') self.call_response = self.soap.importFunc(self.soap_auth, file_name, import_groups, soap_flags) and this was the error: AttributeError: importFunc module body in sync_members.py at line 143 function main in sync_members.py at line 138 function sforce_to_membersin sync_members.py at line 80 function do_importin sync_members.py at line 70 function importer in emma_ws.py at line 84 function __getattr__ in WSDL.py at line 96 Thanks again for working with me this far.

Python isn't the only language, try compiling this with a C compiler:
int main(){
int char = 1;
}
test.c:3: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘=’ token
or a C++ compiler:
test.C:3: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘=’ token
Or running this through a PHP interpreter:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_REQUIRE, expecting T_STRING
in test.php on line 2
Oh, well. :-)

Hmm, with a quick look at the code for SOAPpy (v 0.11.6) I don't see why the getattr() method would not work. Can you show the code you tried and why you think the result was a string? BTW pulling 'import' out of the string won't help; you need the import *function*. Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I guess you will have to dig into the implementation of the client a bit and find out what self.soap.import does and duplicate that somehow. What client code are you using? I would look for a __getattr__ method in the class implementing self.soap, for starters. Kent ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

This seems unfortunate and too restrictive, to not allow keywords to be used for other purposes, when the context makes it clear that its use is not as a keyword.

I tried it and it seem like importFunc is now something like 'import.__str__'. I could maybe do some string operations to just get import out of that, but is there something I could do with getattr() for that reference to come back the way I need.

You could try introspection: importFunc = getattr(self.soap, 'import') self.call_response = importFunc(self.soap_auth, file_name, import_groups, soap_flags) I don't know if this will work here or not, I assume self.soap is already doing some attribute magic.

[Tutor] Calling a Method with a Reserved Name
I am working on building a SOAP client. Unfortunately, one of the methods the SOAP server provides is named "import." The SOAP server is written in PHP. So, my problem is that Python really doesn't like me using the word "import" to call the SOAP method. The call should look something like this: self.call_response = self.soap.import(self.soap_auth, file_name, import_groups, soap_flags) Is there any way to call this method despite it's name being a reserved word. /alex ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
