TypeNotFoundError after import namespace

Question

My application in Python(2.7) should use a client for consume a SOAP web service as is described on a WSDL(Generated by Magento(1.7.0) and posted at the end).

For this task Suds(4.0) was chosen, when I tried to connect with these code:

from suds.client import Client       
client = Client(url)

I received a TypeNotFound error due to a well known problem described here https://fedorahosted.org/suds/wiki/Documentation#FIXINGBROKENSCHEMAs

Then I changed my code to:

from suds.client import Client
from suds.xsd.doctor import Import, ImportDoctor
#Fixing the import
imp = Import('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/')
imp.filter.add('urn:Magento')
client = Client(self.url, plugins=[ImportDoctor(imp)] )
#Now Authentication
session = client.service.login(username, password)
#Call a method
client.service.call(session,'catalog_product.info',['123'])

However, now arose a new Exception:

File "/home/david.gonzalez/.virtualenvs/testlib/lib/python2.7/site- packages/suds/mx/literal.py", line 86, in start
    raise TypeNotFound(content.tag)
suds.TypeNotFound: Type not found: 'args'

I don't understand, why it cannot find the type of 'args' if is explicit in the wsdl:

My feeling was a mistake with the name of the namespace, however , I have already tried this thread with the same results: SOAP suds and the dreaded schema Type Not Found error

This is your call:

client.service.call(session,'catalog_product.info',['123']) # <--- ['123']

maybe it needs xsd:anyType[] to work; i.o.w. array of anyType rather than anyType.

<message name="call">
   <part name="sessionId" type="xsd:string" />
   <part name="resourcePath" type="xsd:string" />
   <part name="args" type="xsd:anyType[]" />
</message>
