Question

I have problems creating a python binding for a WSDL file using PyXB. I do:

• pip install pyxb (currently version 1.1.5)
• pyxbwsdl http://dic.googlecode.com/files/GoogleSearch.wsdl

I get “AttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘CreateFromDOM'” and no code is generated. For another WSDL document I get the same error.

Can someone give me a clue?
Thanks!

Full stack trace:

ERROR: Unable to convert DOM node {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}schema to Python instance
Traceback (most recent call last):

It turned out that “AttributeError: ‘module’ object…” is an expected error. I found this comment in the source code, where the error occurs 🙂

                                # The module holding XMLSchema bindings
                                # does not have a CreateFromDOM method,
                                # and shouldn't since we need to convert
                                # schema instances to DOM more carefully.
                                # Other namespaces won't have a module if
                                # the bindings were not imported; this is
                                # probably worth a warning.
