There is a long-standing issue about this subject at [1]. You probably didn't
find the issue, because it was automatically archived. I just unarchived the
bug and merged both.

Thanks for the link.
I don't agree with the owner (Scott Talbert) about
Upgrade/compatibility impact
No impact expected.
and
User Experience
No changes expected to user experience.
because he was informed [2], that I was already bitten by API incompatibility of
suds-jurko vs. suds.
Furthermore the situation with suds-jurko has not changed in any respect:
Last release 2014-01-24 (2 years ago!)
Last commit on bitbucket: 2015-07-27
with an increasing number of unhandled issues and pull requests.
So for me the situation with suds-jurko is only a slight improvement over
original suds, both being problematic n the same way. A future maintainer of
suds-jurko in Debian has to be aware to be in charge to handle a quite
substantial number of patches and/or security issues on his own. As already
stated I am not in favor of introducing software with such implications into
the archive, at least I will not be the one to maintain it. Scott applied to
take over maintainership for python-suds those last days (by PM), to which I
will reply with a separate mail.
> Thank you,

Best,
Mathias
