suds-ng's Issues

Zeep

Hi! I'd been maintaining a suds fork for a few years (which fixed different bugs compared to this fork, but also had its own bugs too).

A few months back, I came across zeep. It's a true successor to suds, and the authors did a really good job on python3 support, and lots of bug-fixing and enhancements.

I ended up dropping my suds fork in favour of this since the quality and reliability is a lot higher, and have started reaching out to other suds maintainers and pointing them in that direction. I'd like to gradually try and help the "we have 10 forks each with different fixes" situation, and have a single standard tool used by the entire ecosystem.

I know that dumping one's own work is usually quite hard, but I'm wondering how you'd feel about pointing users to zeep in future, so that new and existing project can gradually move over.

I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, I'm aware that it's a controversial thing to propose.
