[Fedora-suds-list] cachingpolicy questions

Hi - I was having some problems with WSDL caching in windows. Ticket #360 addressed/fixed my immediate concerns, but in the process of understanding that, I came up with a questions: It looks like options.cachingpolicy may have originally been intended to specify whether WSDL's are cached as XML or as pickled objects. But as implemented (in 0.4.1,) it looks like - options.cachingpolicy effectively turns caching on or off, and - WSDL's are always cached as pickled objects (never as xml) Is this true? Here's some analysis on the topic: - The default options.cachingpolicy is 0 - The default cache for a Client is ObjectCache - ObjectCache only saves pickles - The Client uses DefinitionsReader to read (and cache) the WSDL - DefinitionsReader does not cache anything unless options.cachingpolicy==1 - DocumentReader and DocumentCache would be used to cache WSDL's as XML - but it doesn't look like anything is using them. I'm thinking that DocumentReader/DocumentCache should be marked as deprecated if they are not actually used. But I'd rather see cachingpolicy used to swap between XML and pickle caching. I'd be glad to write a patch for this if I'm on the right track. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Jeff
