I am having a problem with fedex rate service request. I need to get the Saturday Delivery rate from fedex. How can i get this? I am using python-fedex module.
I have tried using
rate_request.RequestedShipment.ServiceType = None
rate_request.VariableOptions = 'SATURDAY_DELIVERY'
with other parameters. Please give me some hints. I am just stucked with it.
i dont know with that module. but a saturday delivery rate request looks like this:

where ShipmentSpecialServiceType is the important part to define -page 37 of the developer manual-:
Identifies the collection of special services requested by the shipper and offered by FedEx. the shipper requests a special service requiring additional data (such as C.O.D.), the special service type must be present in the SpecialServiceTypes collection, and the supporting detail must be provided in the appropriate sub-object (such as CodDetail).
