ARBSubscriptionType issue with Python 3.8

[countach74]

When updating from Python 3.7 => 3.8, I've started to receive the following complaint from Authorize.net / PyXB:

TypeError: function takes 3 arguments plus optional tzinfo (8 given)
  File "authorizenet/apicontrollersbase.py", line 134, in execute
    xmlRequest = self.buildrequest()
  File "authorizenet/apicontrollersbase.py", line 105, in buildrequest
    xmlRequest = self._request.toxml(encoding=constants.xml_encoding, element_name=self.getrequesttype())
  File "pyxb/binding/basis.py", line 555, in toxml
    dom = self.toDOM(bds, element_name=element_name)
  File "pyxb/binding/basis.py", line 527, in toDOM
    self._toDOM_csc(bds, element)

    return parent.appendChild(self.document().createTextNode(self.valueAsText(text)))
  File "pyxb/utils/domutils.py", line 402, in valueAsText
    return value.xsdLiteral()
  File "pyxb/binding/basis.py", line 992, in xsdLiteral

    raise TypeError('function takes %d arguments plus optional tzinfo (%d given)' % (len(cls._ValidFields), len(args)))

It seems to be related to the paymentScheduleType.startDate property. I've tried setting it to a pyxb date, a python datetime.date, and a string. None of these work. And if I roll back to Python 3.7, the issue goes away. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is this a mistake on my end?

I've encoutered the same problem. I've created an issue directly on PyXB and also found an temporary solution: pabigot/pyxb#123

Reproducable in 3.9.

I've tried many things, including @AntonDeMeester's solution but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is holding up a production release.

I'm pretty sure I found a solution but for the life of me I actually can't find what it was. Been so long ago now, I can't even remember what project I ran into this on.

The solution above by @AntonDeMeester did end up working with 3.9. Just had to set startDate = customdate(datetime object) and it ended up posting the ARB correctly.

This is a clear issue with pyxb and Authorize.net, but I don't see any real resolution coming for this. Shame, really.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Facing the same issue with Python 3.10, the custom date is also not working. Any recommendations will be helpful. Thank you.

@anmolmonga-kiwi Are you sure? I use this solution on 3.10.
