import osa


client = osa.Client("https://ws.interfax.net/dfs.asmx?WSDL")

print('Testing FaxStatus...')

result = client.service.FaxStatus(Username='', Password='', LastTransactionID='999999999', MaxItems=20, TotalCount=0,ListSize=0,ResultCode=-1)
#print(result)
if result.ResultCode == 0:
    print('   FaxStatus returned with code {} and {} items' .format(result.ResultCode, result.TotalCount))
    # Print details for each item.
    for current_item in result.FaxStatusResult.FaxItem:
        for  i in vars(current_item):
            item = getattr(current_item,i,"")
            print( "{}:\t{}".format(i, str(item)))

        #for key in current_item.keys():
        #    print ("\t\t{}:\t{}".format(key, current_item[key]))
        print("\t\t---")
else:
    print('   FaxStatus returned with code {}' .format(result.ResultCode))
