Does Zeep support attachments?

Question

Does Python SOAP client library Zeep support attachments?

I could not really find anything in the documentation.

The idea is to send a SOAP request in XML format, with some attached files. I guess the regular way of doing this is a multipart message, which seems to be suppored by requests, upon which Zeep is built.

You can subclass Transport class and override the post_xml method to modify the envelope attach multipart files. I just finihed a silly module (based on this post How to send Multipart/related requests in Python to SOAP server?) that does the trick.

hope it can help.
