Choice element not supported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. using https://apitest.authorize.net/soap/v1/Service.asmx?WSDL for my WSDL 
create a client with version 1.02c
2. attempt to call GetCustomerProfile with a profile ID that includes a 
paymentProfile that has a 'creditCard' payment associated with it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the response to be properly parsed and include all information.  
Instead SimpleXML throws an error that 'creditCard' is an invalid type.  Upon 
inspection i see that the 'payment' field of 'CustomerPaymentProfile' has 
expected types of 'None'.  I dug in and figured out that this was because the 
'payment' field has a 'choice' element.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

version 1.02c, in web2py, running from source with the GAE development 
environment.

Please provide any additional information below.

The solution that works for me is the following change (diff based off of 
web2py release Version 1.92.1 (2011-02-16 15:04:40))

I've had a bit of trouble related to choice elements as well, but I solved it a 
different way.

I needed to be able to add the elements in choice to the siblings of the choice 
element.  The patch above was just returning the children within the choice.

My fix only gets the first element within choice, which worked for my useage, 
but is still not ideal.

for e in children:
# If a choice element, return the first choice as the element to work with.
  if e.get_local_name()=='choice'\
      and e.children():
      e = e.children()[0]
# Continue with loop

Unfortunately, I've ceased using this library, and no longer have the source 
code to my modifications.
