v0.0.2 — 2025-09-27

PyPI

https://pypi.org/project/onvif-python/0.0.2

Added

• Improved xsd:any parsing logic for child elements, allowing automatic dictionary conversion of ONVIF <Extension> blocks (via monkey patch on parse_xmlelements) (fce868e)
  → This implements behavior proposed in python-zeep#1473
  → Since the PR is not yet merged, this version includes a local monkey patch applied at runtime to zeep.xsd.elements.any.Any.parse_xmlelements

Fixed

• ONVIFClient._get_xaddr() now supports resolving service addresses (XAddr) from nested _value_1 dictionaries (common in normalized extensions) (4292fc4)
• Added support for overriding XAddr host/port when device is behind NAT or proxy (d5f5b1e)
• Changed fallback service_path for Search service to improve compatibility with some ONVIF devices (d5f5b1e)

Comparison

These improvements make this version of onvif-python significantly more capable in handling dynamic ONVIF service extensions than other popular forks such as:

• FalkTannhaeuser/python-onvif-zeep
• openvideolibs/python-onvif-zeep-async

...which still rely on the unpatched version of Zeep and require manual parsing of xsd:any elements.
