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. -- Benjamin Drung System Developer Debian & Ubuntu Developer ProfitBricks GmbH Greifswalder Str. 207 D - 10405 Berlin Email: benjamin.dr...@profitbricks.com URL: http://www.profitbricks.com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin.
