[Spacewalk-list] Python API: create software Channel with gpgkey information

[Waldemar Gorus]

Hello,

I am just testing spacewalk a lot. For that I wrote a python script for 
creating, cloning, synchronizing and deleting channels automatically. I 
would like to set the gpgkey-information during the progress of channel 
creation, but I have problems with the method declaration:

The following python piece works well without the additional gpgKey 
information, but fails with. Somehow I fail with the python struct 
'construct'. Thank you for any hints

for section in channelList:
        client.channel.software.create (sKey, 
                section,
                config.get(section, "name"),
                config.get(section, "summary"),
                config.get(section, "archLabel"),
                config.get(section, "parentLabel"),
                config.get(section, "checksumType"),
                pack('sss', config.get(section, "gpgKey.url"),
                        config.get(section, "gpgKey.id"),
                        config.get(section, "gpgKey.print")))


Here is the method from spacewalk doc API used:


      Method: create
