python-fedex API Documentation
The python-fedex module is a light wrapper around Fedex's Web
Services SOAP API. Using the excellent suds SOAP
client, the Fedex requests and responses are trivial to work with.
What python-fedex is
-
A light wrapper around Fedex Web Services SOAP API.
-
Simple and easy to use.
-
Minimal by design.
What python-fedex is not
-
An abstraction layer. python-fedex only assembles the needed SOAP
calls and returns a SOAP response through suds. This is easy
enough to work with that no abstraction is needed. Doing so would
limit your use of the data.
-
Anything more than a light wrapper.
A note on completeness
python-fedex was created for use with some of my internal
projects. For the initial release, only the things that I needed at
the time were implemented. If there is missing functionality, please
report an issue so that I may make this module more useful to
others. Likewise, feel free to submit patches as well if you would
like to help.
Getting Started
The best place to get started is by viewing the examples in the
'examples' directory. These should be very self-explanatory. For
further details, you may review the API here, or get support by
reading the instructions in the appropriately named section
below.
The services module is also a good place to start
looking at the different objects used for issuing Fedex requests.
As a general tip, the best way to see which attributes are
available on WSDL objects is to simply print them, hitting their
__str__() method.
Fedex Documentation
If you are wondering what attributes or variables are present,
you'll want to refer to the Fedex Web Services documentation at
http://fedex.com/developer/. Complete specification documents are
there, which correspond very closely with what you'll be able to do
with python-fedex.
Getting Support
If you have any questions, problems, ideas, or patch submissions,
please visit our Google Code project and enter an issue in the Issue Tracker.
