Hi together,

Packaging of suds-jurko is almost ready, the drop-in package for python-suds
being prepared. But read below.

My concerns so far are not for backward incompatibility, but for a rather
reliably maintained upstream. I was in regluar contact with jurko, who said to
suffer from shortages in ressources. So for now it can be seen, that the
project receives a lot of public attention (issues, pull requests)and is
widely used[0], but the last commit dates from last year[1] and development
seems to stagnate.

So from my side I am still hesitating and will wait further with pushing
suds-jurko as a replacement for python-suds. If pysimplesoap [2][3] proves to
be a well maintained project providing all necessary features, it should be the
preferable target for a Python2/Python3 SOAP client.

Best,
Mathias
