python - How can I replace Zeep's default boolean serializer?

Question

When I serialize a boolean value Zeep returns "true"/"false" (as per the xsd.types.Boolean class).

I would like to change this to return "1"/"0" instead because the API I'm working with only accepts these values.

How can I replace the default boolean serializer?

Answer 1

I ended up monkey patching the xmlvalue function.

class MyBoolean(Boolean):
    @check_no_collection
    def xmlvalue(self, value):
        return "1" if value and value not in ("false", "0") else "0"

Boolean.xmlvalue = MyBoolean.xmlvalue
