How to access all Webservice methods from a Python Soap Client with multiple bindings using Python zeep

Question

I have to consume data from a SOAP service, which is a new technology for me. I connected from the server using the following code:

from requests import Session
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
from zeep import Client
from zeep.transports import Transport

wsdl= 'my_service.com/MEX?wsdl'
username = 'john_doe'
password = 'password'

session = Session()
session.auth = HTTPBasicAuth(username, password)
transport = Transport(session=session)
client = Client(wsdl=wsdl, transport=transport)

Using SoapUi software and connecting with this server I realized that it has three bindings and each one has a lot of Webservices. But, with Python, I was able only to access the WebServices (via client.service) for the first binding. I want to know how can I access the Webservice methods from another two bindings.

OBS: client.wsdl.bindings return a dict mapping some urls containing the binding names seen on SoapUI to Soap11Binding instances.

By default, Zeep picks up the first binding in the WSDL. This binding is available via client.service. To use a specific binding you can use the bind() method on the client object sample code:

service2 = client.bind('SecondService', 'Port12')
service2.someOperation(arg1='abc', arg2=2)
