I'm absolutely new to python, so please help me out I have this calculator2 function which calls the webservice and gets token as a XML file. At the same time I'm creating an XML Document (with is xxx and title XXX). I want to feed the xml content I'm getting (in this case token) into the XML document I'm creating. If I hard code the xml text in quotes it works. But I want to feed the text I'm getting in as token. What is the proper syntax to do that? def calculator2(self, REQUEST, RESPONSE): ssfService = ServiceProxy ('http://localhost.ssc.com:8080/ssfsoap/services/CalcService?WSDL') token = ssfService.addInt(3,8) REQUEST.set('token1', token) xml = self.manage_addProduct['XMLDocument'].add('xxx', 'XXX', REQUEST ['token1']) return token -- Sirvisetti Systems 347 Plainfield Avenue Edison, NJ 08817 (732) 985-2200
