Suppose you are using Suds and you want to log every raw XML request and response to a SOAP service. This can be useful to debug an integration with a SOAP web service.
You can write a MessagePlugin class for this, and use it in the construction of your client.
import logging
from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
from suds.client import Client
from suds.plugin import MessagePlugin
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
class SudsLoggerPlugin(MessagePlugin):
def pretty_log(self, xml_content):
try:
dom = parseString(xml_content)
logger.debug(dom.toprettyxml())
except:
logger.exception('Cannot log XML')
def sending(self, context):
self.pretty_log(context.envelope)
def received(self, context):
self.pretty_log(context.reply)
client = Client('your/wsdl/path/here?wsdl',
plugins=[ SudsLoggerPlugin() ])
