I'm using SOAPpy to access a SOAP Webservice. This call to the function findPathwaysByText works just fine:
server.findPathwaysByText (query= 'WP619', species = 'Mus musculus')
However, this call to the function login does not:
server.login (user='amarillion', pass='*****')
Because pass is a reserved word, python won't run this. Is there a workaround?
You could try:
d = {'user':'amarillion', 'pass':'*****' }
server.login(**d)
This passes in the given dictionary as though they were keyword arguments (the **)
You can say
server.login(user='amarillion', **{'pass': '*****'})
The double-asterix syntax here applies keyword arguments. Here's a simple example that shows what's happening:
def f(a, b):
return a + b
kwargs = {"a": 5, "b": 6}
return f(**kwargs) # same as saying f(a=5, b=6)
