Spoke (formerly known as Case-Mate) is a company that makes cases for phones and tablets (ed: among other things).
They are kind enough to expose an API for others to use, and this is a Python library that interacts with that API. The API is XML-based (but not SOAP). The structure of this library is meant to reflect the structure of the API calls and closely as possible; you should be able to read the API docs and use this library comfortably. Only parameters that do not change between requests are omitted from each call; for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Request>
<Customer>CustomerName</Customer>
<RequestType>New</RequestType>
<Key>1234554321123450</Key>

)s.cancel('CustomerOrderNumber')Upper-case keyword arguments are passed directly to the API; lower-case ones fiddle with the library's configuration. Strings or numbers may be used. Date objects may be specified for OrderDate, and instead of the two-character shorthand specified by the API, ShippingMethod may be specified as a more human readable string.
