Thanks, it's useful to hear it does work in python. Here is how I call the api in my script for a single key.

my $key = $opt_a;
# my $key = $client->string($opt_a); # this didn't work either
my $details = $client->call('activationkey.getDetails', $session, $key);

At least I now have a workaround of doing it in python with a chunk of working code to start from.

Thanks,
Maria
