Just to make it clear to everyone: suds-jurko is as badly maintained as
suds, and switching to that isn't acceptable either. The maintainer of
the suds package in Debian tried to contact Jurko, but never got a reply
at all. Multiple attempts were done, since summer 2014.

Instead, something like pysimplesoap is one possible alternative, but it
has a different API.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
