Important Notice Regarding Suds 0.3.7

The addition of multiple WSDL service support in Suds 0.3.7 introduced a bug in the setlocation method that the Toolkit uses to rewrite the server URL after authentication to Salesforce. A workaround can be found in version 0.1.2, anyone wishing to use Suds 0.3.7 will need to upgrade. More details can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/suds/ticket/261.

Overview

The goal of this project is to provide a thin layer around the Salesforce SOAP messaging that consumes both the Enterprise and Partner WSDL formats and implements the Salesforce API 17.0 spec.

The Salesforce Python Toolkit features the following:

• Support for both the Enterprise and Partner WSDL
• A single, unified interface to Enterprise and Partner methods and objects
• Transparent SOAP interaction management
• Endpoint rewriting
• SOAP header management
• SOAP namespace prefix handling for methods and objects

Included in the tarball is EXAMPLES, which includes a code example for every Salesforce API method call.

Dependencies

The Toolkit requires Suds, available at https://fedorahosted.org/suds. It has been tested extensively with Suds 0.3.6+.

Source

The source is currently available via anonymous SVN and as a tarball. Release snapshots can be found in tags/.
