Looking at those bug reports:
* 2 just removed the suggestion of python-suds
* The maintainer of congruity (#788082) responded that porting to
pysimplesoap would not be an easy effort
* All other maintainers haven't responded yet

Mathias, may become co-maintainer or adopt python-suds? I wait for your
go before preparing suds-jurko with Python 3 support.
