[OWSLib-users] How to mimic this CSW XML Post Query using OWSlib

[Signell, Richard]

I have a CSW endpoint:

endpoint = 'http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geoportal/csw' # NGDC Geoportal
csw = CatalogueServiceWeb(endpoint, lang='en-US', version='2.0.2', timeout=30)

and I have a sample POST query:

xml_string='''
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<csw:GetRecords xmlns:csw="http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2"
version="2.0.2" service="CSW" resultType="results"
outputSchema="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd" startPosition="1"
maxRecords="1000">
  <csw:Query typeNames="csw:Record"
xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml">
  <csw:ElementSetName>full</csw:ElementSetName>
  <csw:Constraint version="1.1.0">
  <ogc:Filter>
    <ogc:And>
      <ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>
        <ogc:PropertyName>sys.siteuuid</ogc:PropertyName>
        <ogc:Literal>{78C0463E-2FCE-4AB2-A9C9-6A34BF261F52}</ogc:Literal>
      </ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo>
      <ogc:PropertyIsLike wildCard="*" escape="\" singleChar="?">
        <ogc:PropertyName>apiso:ServiceType</ogc:PropertyName>
        <ogc:Literal>*opendap*</ogc:Literal>
      </ogc:PropertyIsLike>
    </ogc:And>
  </ogc:Filter>
</csw:Constraint>
</csw:Query>
</csw:GetRecords>
'''
Is there a way to do this same query using the OWSlib methods?

I know how to do things like:

bbox=[-71.5, 39.5, -63.0, 46]
csw.getrecords(keywords=['sea_water_temperature'],bbox=bbox,maxrecords=10)
csw.results

But I don't know how to do the above query that is supposed to find
records with OPeNDAP responses.

Here is an Ipython Notebook that shows my testing of the CSW response
with OWSlib:
