Question

I’m trying to convert some php code into python and am using curl. I’ve gotten most of it to be accepted, but when it gets to the result = pycurl.exec(Moe) it keeps throwing a syntax error. I guess that I’m not filling out the exec field correctly, but I can’t seem to figure out where it is going wrong.

from urllib2 import urlopen
from ClientForm import ParseResponse
import cgi, cgitb 
import webbrowser
import curl, pycurl

Moe = pycurl.Curl(wsdl)
Moe.setopt(pycurl.POST, 1)
Moe.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ["Content-Type: text/xml"])
Moe.setopt(pycurl.HTTPAUTH, pycurl.BASIC)
Moe.setopt(pycurl.USERPWD, "userid:password")
Moe.setopt(pycurl.POSTFIELDS, Larry)
Moe.setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0)
Moe.setopt(pycurl.SSLCERT, pemlocation)
Moe.setopt(pycurl.SSLKEY, keylocation)
Moe.setopt(pycurl.SSLKEYPASSWD, keypassword)
Moe.setopt(pycurl.RETURNTRANSFER, 1)
result = pycurl.exec(Moe)
pycurl.close(Moe)

Answer 1

Use result = Moe.perform() to execute your request.

PS:

Moe.setopt(pycurl.POSTFIELDS, Larry)

Is Larry actually a variable? If it’s a string, quote it.
