Any Idea how do we pass values to the calling function of a web service in python:
>>> from elementsoap import ElementSOAP as ES
>>> sr = ES.SoapRequest("{http://tempuri.org/}AddNumbers")
>>> serv = ES.SoapService("http://localhost/WebServices/Service.asmx")
>>> result = serv.call("http://tempuri.org/AddNumbers", sr)
>>> result.find("{http://tempuri.org/}AddNumbersResult").text
'0'
>>>
I need to pass values to AddNumbers method, 3 and 4 so that i get the result as 7

Thanks for your help in advance!!

No sorry, I don't. These days I try and avoid coding in C# where possible

Hi Beardy,
This article looks great. I am trying to call a python web service in .NET. You have any related articles or source code for the same (as I am short of time).
Thanks for your help in advance!!

Comment on Creating User Profiles with Image Thumbnails in Django by Mark

Hi there, great bit of coding you've done here. I've been trying to follow, but coming across some errors.

I'm not entirely sure if my installation is set up properly, or if it's a problem with the trunk version of Django.

When calling self.photo.path in the thumbnail creation, it seems to be getting my MEDIA_ROOT with the filename appended (ignoring any other bits of folder structure that has been set earlier). The only thing I can think of is if adding the upload_to instruction doesnt get recorded properly.

ie. MEDIA_ROOT/filename.jpg

Any thoughts? Feel free to drop me an email.

Fixed that for you

def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False):
import os
#get mtime stats from file
thumb_update = False

# Does a thumbnail exist?
if self.thumbnail:
# Does it actually exist?
try:
# If so, compare it to the latest photo
statinfo1 = os.stat(self.photo.path)
statinfo2 = os.stat(self.thumbnail.path)
if statinfo1 > statinfo2:
thumb_update = True
# If not, update the thumbnail
except OSError:
thumb_update = True

if self.photo and not self.thumbnail or thumb_update:
from PIL import Image

THUMB_SIZE = (150, 150)

#self.thumbnail = self.photo

image = Image.open(self.photo.path)

if image.mode not in ('L', 'RGB'):
image = image.convert('RGB')

image.thumbnail(THUMB_SIZE, Image.ANTIALIAS)
(head, tail) = os.path.split(self.photo.path)
(a, b) = os.path.split(self.photo.name)

if not os.path.isdir(head + '/thumbs'):
os.mkdir(head + '/thumbs')

image.save(head + '/thumbs/' + tail)

self.thumbnail = a + '/thumbs/' + b

super(UserProfile, self).save()
