AttributeError: Tag not found: faultstring

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

from pysimplesoap.client import SoapClient
client = SoapClient(wsdl=http://url-for-my-service?wsdl')
result = client.StartSession('userid','passwd')

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

I should get back a session ID but instead I get back the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/rksmith/Projects/soap/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pysimplesoap/client.py", line 141, in <lambda>

    raise AttributeError("Tag not found: %s (%s)" % (tag, e))
AttributeError: Tag not found: faultstring (No elements found)

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

I am using the latest version installed by pip (1.10) on ubuntu 12.4

Please provide any additional information below.

I think the problem is the wsdl. It comes from a third party product I have no 
control over and it is .NET so the vendor doesn't know how to do anything 
except push buttons in Visual Studio to make anything work.

Please test the latest development version from the repository:

https://pysimplesoap.googlecode.com/archive/default.zip

It has many enhancements and fixes for wsdl handling.

As soon as I could fix/update some tests, it will be published as stable 
(including pip package)

I'm seeing this error too, however when looking at the server response I can 
see that this error is caused by the server rejecting my request because of an 
invalid or expired security token. Maybe my error should have been caught and 
reported earlier in the code,
