Using CWS in Python

haoest

I have solid experience using CWS on .NET. When I try to work CWS with python though, I am not sure how to pass in the authentication token object to other services like Document Management.

I can't locate and construct OTAuthentication class to hold the token with... Does any one has sample code to, say, call CreateFolder defined in DocumentManagement?

I am also having problems using the Zeep module with Python3.

from zeep import Client

auth_client = Client('http://contentserver/cws/Authentication.svc?wsdl')

docman_client = Client('http://contentserver/cws/DocumentManagement.svc?wsdl')

ot_username = 'admin'
ot_password = 'password'
documentID = '7845302'

def authenticate(username, password):
    try:
        token = auth_client.service.AuthenticateUser(username, password)
        return token
    except:
        print('invalid username or password')

auth = authenticate(ot_username, ot_password)

print(auth)

contextID = docman_client.service.GetVersionContentsContext(auth, documentID, '0')

error:

raise TypeError(
