Complex Type issue with SOAPpy

I'm trying to access a function defined in my WSDL from HP Server Automation, I'm able to get servers/etc, but not able to pull anything that takes a server reference specifically via SOAPpy.

import SOAPpy
from SOAPpy import WSDL
from SOAPpy import structType

SOAPpy.Config.debug=1
server = WSDL.Proxy('ServerService.wsdl')

serverRef = structType(name='self', typed=0)
serverRef._addItem('id',SOAPpy.longType(19250001))

print server.getCustAttr(serverRef,key='HPSW_ED_win32_diskspace',useScope=False)

The SOAP envelope generated from this code looks like this:
*** Outgoing SOAP ******************************************************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
  SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
  xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
  xmlns:xsd2="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:getCustAttr xmlns:ns1="http://server.opsware.com" SOAP-ENC:root="1">
<xsd:self>
<id xsi:type="xsd2:long">19250001</id>
</xsd:self>
<useScope xsi:type="xsd:boolean">False</useScope>
<key xsi:type="xsd:string">HPSW_ED_win32_diskspace</key>
</ns1:getCustAttr>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

And it should look like this ( runs successfully via SOAPUI):

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ser="http://server.opsware.com">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ser:getCustAttr soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
           <self xsi:type="ser:ServerRef">
              <id xsi:type="xsd:long">19250001</id>
           </self>
         <key xsi:type="soapenc:string" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">HPSW_ED_win32_diskspace</key>
         <useScope xsi:type="xsd:boolean">False</useScope>
      </ser:getCustAttr>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

I believe the issue is that the xsi:type="ser:ServerRef" is not set, and not really sure how to do that with SOAPpy...

there are two different types of soap styles(RPC literal and Document literal),looks like the mentioned soap server just supports RPC

i saw this problem with soappy and suds. after some tests and benchmarks,i found the problem. ASP.NET and soappy. you need produce a rpc envelop with python instead document literal envelop style.

just ZSI(The Zolera Soap Infrastructure) works with asp.net and complex types.

this command generates the client proxy for you:

wsdl2py http://terraservice.net/TerraService.asmx?WSDL

and you can import generated modules in your code and use the web methods.
