Unable to consume a .NET WCF service in Python

I am trying to access a .NET WCF web service from Python and am getting the following error - would anyone be able to let me know what I am doing wrong:

File "C:\temp\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\suds\mx\literal.py", line 87, in start
               raise TypeNotFound(content.tag)
suds.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'authToken'

Below is the python code that I have:

import uuid
from suds.client import Client
from suds.xsd.doctor import Import, ImportDoctor

url = 'http://something/something?wsdl'
imp = Import('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema', location='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd')
imp = Import('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/')
imp = Import('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/')
imp.filter.add('http://tempuri.org/')
doctor = ImportDoctor(imp)
client = Client(url, doctor=doctor, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/soap+xml'})
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logging.getLogger('suds.client').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger('suds.transport').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger('suds.xsd.schema').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger('suds.wsdl').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
client.set_options

myMethod = client.factory.create('myMethod')
myMethod.authToken = uuid.UUID('xxxxxxxx-35f4-4b7b-accf-yyyyyyyyyyyy')
print(f'CLIENT: {client}')
print(f'myMethod: {myMethod}')
ls_Token = client.service.myMethod(myMethod)
print(f'ACCESSTOKEN: {ls_Token}')

We could not get it to work with SOAP WCF and had to modify it to a REST based service to make it work. Python seems to work better with REST service.

Create ResponseData object, the type is defined in wsdl, if there are multiple schemas, you need to add a prefix, such as ns0, ns1, etc.

ResponseData = client.factory.create('ns1:ResponseData')
ResponseData.token = "Test"

Make sure that the properties of the object you created exist,You can view the properties of the object after successfully creating the object.

ResponseData = client.factory.create('ns1:ResponseData')
ResponseData.token = "Test"
print ResponseData

The following picture is the property of ResponseData object:

enter image description here

If I use the following code I will get the same error as you:

ResponseData = client.factory.create('ns1:ResponseData')
ResponseData.authToken = "Test"

enter image description here

So you need to check whether the myMethod object has authToken property.
