Salesforce Python SDK supports Salesforce REST and Partner SOAP APIs.

python setup.py install

import salesforce as sf sfdc = sf.Salesforce()

sfdc.authenticate(client_id=client_id,

client_secret=client_secret, username=username, password=password)

#SOAP call sfdc.Contact.create( [ { 'FirstName': 'John', 'LastName': 'Varges', }, { 'FirstName': 'Clark', 'LastName': 'Fisher', } ], soap=True)

#REST Call sfdc.Contact.create({ 'FirstName': 'John', 'LastName': 'Varges'})

You can switch between REST and SOAP by passing soap parameter.

get_auth_uri(self, **kwargs)

authenticate(self, soap=None, **kwargs)

query(self, query_string, soap=None)

query_all(self, query_string, soap=None)

query_more(self, query_url, soap=None)

search(self, search_string, soap=None)

get(self, get_url, params=None, soap=None, **kwargs)

post(self, post_url, data, soap=None)

On sObject:

describe(self, soap=None)

create(self, data, soap=None)

update(self, data, soap=None)

delete(self, record_id, soap=None)

post(self, data, record_id=None, soap=None)

get(self, record_id=None, params=None, soap=None)
