oaxmlapi is a Python wrapper around the NetSuite OpenAir XML API. It allows for easier interaction with the XML version of the OpenAir API and reduces the need to generate raw XML. The library is written entirely in Python and utilizes the etree.ElementTree library for producing pre-formatted XML tags and attributes for use in your API requests.

The focus of this package is simple - write Python, not XML. Here's an example which uses the urllib2 library to make a simple HTTP request using some XML formatted data.
import urllib2
from oaxmlapi import connections, datatypes, commands
app = connections.Application('test app', '1.0', 'default', 'uniquekey')
auth = connections.Auth('My Company', 'Admin', 'p@ssw0rd')
date = datatypes.Datatype('Date', {'month': '03', 'day': '14', 'year': '2012'})
task = datatypes.Datatype('Task', {'projectid': '13'})
filter1 = commands.Read.Filter('newer-than', 'date', date).getFilter()
filter2 = commands.Read.Filter(None, None, task).getFilter()
xml_data = []
xml_data.append(commands.Read('Task', 'equal to', {'limit': '1000'}, [filter1, filter2], ['id', 'timesheetid']).read())
xml_req = connections.Request(app, auth, xml_data).tostring()
req = urllib2.Request(url='https://www.openair.com/api.pl', data=xml_req)Ryan Morrissey - ryancmorrissey.com
