python-fedex

python-fedex is a light wrapper for Fedex's Web Services SOAP API. The intent is to stay out of the way of the developer as much as possible, meanwhile handling some of the more repetitive and mundane portions of forming and sending SOAP requests.

The module makes use of the excellent suds package along with Python versions 2.5 and up, but not Py3K (yet).

What it can do

The following FedEx methods are implemented: * Shipment creation * Shipment cancellation * Track shipments by tracking number Functionality is only implemented as people post a need for additional methods. If the FedEx API does something that python-fedex can't, post an issue to the issue tracker and we'll get it added.

Requirements

• suds
• Python (2.5 or greater, but not 3.x)
