[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
# Run this code
nclient = 
SoapClient(wsdl='http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/services/checkVatServ
ice.wsdl')
vat = 'PT508141184'
print = client.service.checkVat(countryCode=vat[:2], vatNumber=vat[2:])

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Something like """{'name': 'NDRIVE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS S A', 'countryCode': 
'PT', 'vatNumber': '508141184', 'valid': True, 'requestDate': 
datetime.date(2010, 9, 27), 'address': 'ESTR DA CIRCUNVALAÇÃO N 
10381\nPORTO\n4250-151 PORTO'}"""

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mercurial repo, rev. 8e831ad8fe1c (tip, at the time).

Please provide any additional information below.
>>> print client.checkVat(countryCode=vat[:2], vatNumber=vat[2:])

First, your example is wrong (it seems to use suds client.service call style 
and print = is a syntax error).

The correct example is:

from client import SoapClient
client = SoapClient(wsdl='file:checkVatService.wsdl',trace=True)
vat = 'PT508141184'
response = client.checkVat(countryCode=vat[:2], vatNumber=vat[2:])
print response
print response['address']

The output is the expected:

{'name': u'NDRIVE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS S A', 'countryCode': u'PT', 'vatNumber': 
u'508141184', 'valid': True, 'requestDate': datetime.date(2010, 10, 9), 
'address': u'ESTR DA CIRCUNVALA\xc7\xc3O N 10381\nPORTO\n4250-151 PORTO'}
ESTR DA CIRCUNVALAÇÃO N 10381
PORTO
4250-151 PORTO

So, I cannot reproduce this issue, maybe there is a python unicode problem in 
your evniroment, or this depend on some platform issue.

Can you try this with the last revision from mercurial repository?
And,
Can you post your python version, operating system and console unicode settings?

You're right. It must have been something with my console. I've tried it in 
another computer and it works just fine (both in tip and in rev 8e831ad8fe1c).

With just looking the backtrace, I would never guess it would be a console 
problem. Sorry for the wrongful report. Thanks for your help. Keep up the good 
job. :)
