Python/BigSuds using local WSDLs?

Can BigSuds use a local copy of the WSDLs? I ask because sometimes I have to loop through literally 600+ devices and if I only had to parse the WSDLs once, that would speed things up a lot.   Than...

Just had a quick look at the bigsuds source and it appears this is already possible!

 

just initialize your api as here:

 

api = bigsuds.BIGIP(hostname=bigip, username=user, password=password, cachedir=/tmp/)

 

(cachedir defaults to None; you can also enable debug=True)

I looked at the code, too. I think the "cachedir" paramiter for cache'ing the WSDLs after they are downloaded from the device and NOT for accessing local copies of WSDLs ... :( What I would like to do is have a local copy of the WSDLs like the Ruby gem or the java libs ... Oh well ...
