[Python-modules-team] Bug#948555: python-soappy: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Package: python-soappy
Version: 0.12.22-1
Severity: serious

Hello,
i believe we should remove python-soappy from Debian:

* python2-only code base
* leaf package
* even upstream suggests to use `suds` instead of this project
* the relatively high popcon is because reportbug used to depend on this
  package, but it has migrated to simplesoap/debianbts a long ago.

if i dont hear back within a week with a good reason to keep this package
around, i'll file for its removal.

Regards,
Sandro
