07/27/2021, 6:46 PMHi, @michael_cooper. This isn't on our radar yet. A quick Google search leads me to think it may be tricky to integrate xml request/response formats with the Python requests library. That said, a logged issue would be welcome, and certainly sounds like something we could accept in an MR if it's a feature you would be interested in contributing towards. https://stackoverflow.com/a/18308594 (fixed)
