Fresh install not working,

[Sanman96]

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (fresh install)
I installed pip and then used pip to install onvif as stated on the homepage.
I downloaded the wsdl file and xsd file straight form ONVIF.
When I launch python I typed

from onvif import ONVIFCamera

then

mycam = ONVIFCamera('IP_ADDR', 8088, 'admin', 'test', '')

i get

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/onvif/client.py", line 227, in init

port = self.__find(0)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/suds/client.py", line 331, in __find
raise Exception, 'No services defined'
Exception: No services defined

I have the files where it is looking for them (/etc/onvif/wsdl/devicemgmt.wsdl and /ver10/schema/onvif.xsd)

If I use the interactive cli with

onvif-cli devicemgmt GetHostname --user 'admin' --password 'test' --host 'IPADDR' --port 8088

i get

Traceback (most recent call last):

Even though there are plenty of services declared in the onvif wsdl, why isn't the program recognizing it? I am new to onvif and trying to learn it as fast as possible and I thought this library would be the perfect start.

If it is any help I am trying to interface to a group of AVIGILON 2.0MP Day/Night 20x HD PTZ Dome Cameras.

I have the exact same issue. BTW, over a year and no answer at all??

I gave up on this library for having basically no support. I decided to use camera API's instead of using ONVIF.

For the record: I got the same problem while searching for and symlinking wsdl stuff. By default pip put it in /usr/local/wsdl/ then this worked:

onvif-cli --user 'admin' --password 'passwd' --host 'xx.xx.xx.xx' --port 80 -w /usr/local/wsdl/<<EOF
cmd devicemgmt GetCapabilities
EOF

Eventually I needed ONVIF compliance in my application so I ended up using a PHP ONVIF library. But I'm glad to see after almost 2 years someone finally answered it.
