        olap.xmla

        BUILD
        *****
        
        In this directory, run:
        
            python setup.py build
        
        *******
        TESTING
        *******
        
        Tests are done against the Mondrian and SSAS XMLA providers.
        The testsDiscover module tests behavior with different XMLA providers with the Discover command while
        testsExecute does the same with the Execute command.
        Note that you likely need to modify the sources if you want to test yourself since they contain specifics (namely the location
        of the services and names of the data sources).
        
        ******
        SAMPLE
        ******
        
        Here is an example how to use it:
        
        	>>>import olap.xmla.xmla as xmla
        	>>>
        	>>>p * xmla.XMLAProvider()
        	>>>c * p.connect(location*"http://localhost:8080/mondrian/xmla", doKerberos * False)
        	>>>
        	>>># getting info about provided data
        	>>>print c.getDatasources()
        	>>>print c.getMDSchemaCubes()
        	>>># for ssas a catalog is needed, so the call would be like
        	>>># get a catalogname from a call to c.getDBSchemaCatalogs()
        	>>># c.getMDSchemaCubes(properties*{"CATALOG":"a catalogname"})
        	>>>
        	>>># execute a MDX (working against the foodmart sample catalog of mondrian)
        	>>>cmd* """select {[Measures].ALLMEMBERS} * {[Time].[1997].[Q2].children} on columns, 
        	...[Gender].[Gender].ALLMEMBERS on rows 
        	...from [Sales]
        	..."""
        	>>>
        	>>>res * c.Execute(cmd, Catalog*"FoodMart")
        	>>>res.getSlice(property*"Value") #return only the Value property from the cells
        	>>>
        	>>># to return some subcube from the result you can
        	>>>res.getSlice() # return all
        	>>>res.getSlice(Axis0*3) # carve out the 4th column
        	>>>res.getSlice(Axis0*3, SlicerAxis*0) # same as above, SlicerAxis is ignored
        	>>>res.getSlice(Axis1*[1,2]) # return the data sliced at the 2nd and 3rd row
        	>>>res.getSlice(Axis0*3, Axis1*[1,2]) # return the data sliced at the 2nd and 3rd row in addition to the 4th column

        The contained vs.wsdl originates from the following package:
        http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id*9388
        and was subsequently modified (which parameters go in the soap header) to work with the suds package.
