Answer 1

Based on comments here, I was able to install this package using

pip install "setuptools==58.0.0"
pip install -r requirements.txt --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver

Answer 2

The 2to3 error is an error thrown to cover up another error. To find out the real error, you have to build from source.

1.Download source: https://pypi.org/project/suds-jurko/#files

2.Compile:

unzip suds-jurko-0.6.zip
cd suds-jurko-0.6
python setup.py install

I don't remember the 'real' error I received, but here is the solution:

1.Create Symlinks from /lib to /local/lib:

ln -s /usr/lib/python3.6 /usr/local/lib/python3.6
ln -s /usr/lib64/python3.6 /usr/local/lib64/python3.6

2.Probably not best practice.. give permission recursively:

chmod 777 -R /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/

3.Install setuptools

pip3 install --user "setuptools==58.0.0"

4.Install suds-jurko using regular pip and not pip3. Also install without root privileges.

su -c "python -m pip install suds-jurko --user" YOURUSERNAME

Answer 3

Use a community fork of suds-jurko. It is releasing packages under the main suds package name
