Hello, I see the following error when importing the ServiceClient module (it used to work fine until today):

File "BingGeoLocationPerformance.py", line 1, in <module>
    from bingads.service_client import ServiceClient
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bingads\__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    import bingads.bulk  # noqa
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bingads\bulk\__init__.py", line 11, in <module>
    from .file_reader import *
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bingads\bulk\file_reader.py", line 2, in <module>
    from .entities.bulk_entity import BulkEntity
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bingads\bulk\entities\__init__.py", line 11, in <module>
    from .bulk_campaign import *
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bingads\bulk\entities\bulk_campaign.py", line 8, in <module>
    _ShoppingSetting = type(_CAMPAIGN_OBJECT_FACTORY.create('ShoppingSetting'))

  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\bingads\service_client.py", line 332, in _suds_objects_deepcopy
    new = origin_type()
TypeError: instance() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

Any idea? Thanks!

Hi, @carlosmolinet Thanks for your feedback, I tried to test bulk test locally with both SI and Production account in version 10.4.4, did not repro your errors. Could you provide more information to us for further investigation? e.g. any changes/upgrade for bingads sdk on your side? What's the bingads sdk version you are using?

Thanks. Li.

I am using the latest version 10.4.4 and no changes on my side, I tried uninstaling and installing the module again without luck.

The same code worked fine yesterday, and works fine on another machine.

Thanks!

Hi, @carlosmolinet, I still could not repro this error, and since it's working on your other machine, I think it's more likely to be an environment related issue.
