Python Sympa SOAP Wrapper
Small wrapper that uses ZEEP to communicate with a SOAP endpoint linked to a Sympa server, to let automation in lists creation.
Example
Start by creating a new client, and log in. Then, you can use some pre-constructed methods.
from sympasoap import Client
client = Client("https://lists.example.com/sympa")
client.login("admin@example.com", "MY_STRONG_PASSWORD") # Get from env
# Create a list of type hotline that is named automatically-created@lists.example.com with basic description
client.create_list(list_name="automatically-created", subject="Automatically created list", template="hotline",
description="This mailing list was created from a Python shell.", topic="computers/software")
# Subscribe the email address toto@example.com with name "Toto TOTO" to the list automatically-created@lists.example.com
# in non-quiet mode: the user will receive a notification that they got subscribed
client.subscribe(email="toto@example.com", list_address="automatically-created", quiet=False, name="Toto TOTO")
# Unsubscribe the email in quiet mode
client.subscribe(email="toto@example.com", list_address="automatically-created", quiet=True)Available functions
