Do you have the WSDL for the service you want to connect with?

If you don't...  try below.

client.add_method_with_soapaction('getData',
"soapactionthattheserverrequires", 'DataID', "inputstring")
client.generate_explicit_type = false

> p client.mygetData(1)

p client.getData(5, ["string1", "string2"])

It should send a request as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <env:Body>
    <n1:getData xmlns:n1="foo">
      <DataID>5</DataID>
      <inputstring>
        <item>string1</item>    <== XXX
        <item>string2</item>    <== XXX
      </inputstring>
    </n1:getData>
  </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

The server may not accept the request because of the element name at
XXX part above does not match with expected one (<string>).  Then you
need WSDL.
