1. The version of zeep - master branch ( https://github.com/mvantellingen/python-zeep/archive/master.zip)

2. The WSDL you are using -
   xds-iti18-registry-stored-query.wsdl.zip

3. An example script -
   zeep-validate-wsdl-error.py.zip

4. Complete folder containing wsdl and script for generating error..
   zeep-bug-report-360-ext.zip

We are using master branch of python-zeep.. When we run zeep validation function we get following error

This works fine with released version of zeep 1.1.0.. Master branch from github provides above mentioned error.. I am in a dead lock condition as half of my wsdl works with zeep released version 1.1.0 and remaining works with zeep Master branch from github...

Related issue: #360 , #353

I will take a look at this, but again, please try to keep civil. Your basically asking me to help you do your work for free. So leave the '....................'

[mvantellingen]

Should be fixed in master

Hi, I am also having this issue with Experian WDSL:
https://ws3.ondemand.qas.com/ProOnDemand/V3/ProOnDemandService.asmx?wsdl

I am using python 3.6.0.

Further info: I installed zeep as instructed on: http://docs.python-zeep.org/en/master/
It tested okay when I ran: python -mzeep http://www.soapclient.com/xml/soapresponder.wsdl

Is this a bug? In any case, you can you please help?

[mvantellingen]

This isn't released yet, will be in 1.4.0
