CDATA_SECTION_NODE is not supported in SimpleXMLElement

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am facing an issue with CDATA_SECTION_NODE. I had to add:

def __unicode__(self):
        "Returns the unicode text nodes of the current element"
        if self._element.childNodes:
            rc = u""
            for node in self._element.childNodes:
                if node.nodeType == node.TEXT_NODE:
                    rc = rc + node.data
                elif node.nodeType == node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE:
                    rc = rc + node.data
            return rc
        return ''

to simplexml.py

That seems good, do you want to propose a patch?
Could you include some test cases?

Hi Rai: could you send a code fragment / wsdl to test the issue?
A real use case would be helpful to check this and include the patch.

Hello again,

I have to produce a response like this
<RET_VAL>0</RET_VAL>
<RET_DESC>SUCCESS</RET_DESC>
<SERV_STAT>
<![CDATA[<RESPONSE>
<MSISDN>923335300056</MSISDN>
<SERVICE_ID>8818</SERVICE_ID>
<SERVICE_NAME>MyMail</SERVICE_NAME>
<SERVICE_STATUS>ACTIVE</SERVICE_STATUS>
<ACTIVATION_MODE>MO</ACTIVATION_MODE>
<A_TIME>02-Sep-2013 12:00:00</A_TIME>
<DEACTIVATION_MODE></DEACTIVATION_MODE>
<D_TIME></D_TIME>
<CHARGING_MODE>MT</CHARGING_MODE>
<C_TIME>03-Mar-2014 12:00:00</C_TIME>
</RESPONSE>]]>
</SERV_STAT>
</ptml:Query_Service_StatusResponse>

I don't see this happening as of now. Is there any support for this in 
pysimplesoap?

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Regards
Rai

You can insert in the response any xml, returning from your function a 
SimpleXmlElement object.

Also, you could return text, it will be escaped accordingly if it contains xml 
tags.
Then, we can explore how to convert to CDATA

A concrete simple coding example would be helpful to test and evaluate this.
