the workaround is simple, just use attribute rather than setter,
i.e: dc.name ='dcUpdated', 

can't recall, but IIRC set_x() had issues cause it generated by generateDS
and was spiking our __setattr__ procedure,

anyway this should not block from 3.5 to go out.

Nelly,

I simulated issue you've reported [1] and got the following
output [2], e.g <name> property does send to server by sdk,
checking the log, i noticed that this issue has been addressed already at
sdk-3.5.0.1 by [3],

please make sure you updated to this version, and if
you still can reproduce it, please run sdk in debug mode (passing 
debug=true in constructor) and attach the output.

[1]

dc = DataCenter(params.DataCenter(),Context())
dc.set_name('dcUpdated')
print ParseHelper.toXml(dc)

[2]

<data_center>
    <name>dcUpdated</name>
</data_center>

[3]

Michael,

We are running sdk-3.5.0.2. below reproduced in debug mode:
