If you are using "suds", you usually do not use "lxml" (at least not
for the parsing and construction of the SOAP messages).
Instead, you create a "suds" client (as you have done in the code
you have posted (and which I did not cite).
The suds client has a "factory" method. It allows you to create Python objects
corresponding to the types used by the webservice. You can populate
those objects by assigning values to its attributes. Usually
"print obj" shows you which attributes may be relevant.
In addition, the suds client has an attribute "service".
And this service object has as methods all the methods supported
by the webservice.
In a simple case, using "suds" looks like this:
from suds.client import Client
c = Client(<wsdl-url>)
print c.service.<method>(...) # this calls the webservice's <method> with the
provided arguments)
In more complicated cases (when the method arguments have a complex type),
it looks like this:
from suds.client import Client
c = Client(<wsdl-url>)
obj = c.factory("<type>")
obj.<attr> = <val>
....
print c.service.<method>(..., obj, ...)
