suds install error: no module named client

Question

Trying to install suds with pip-3.2 and it fails with the error

sudo pip-3.2 install suds
Downloading/unpacking suds
  Running setup.py egg_info for package suds
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 16, in <module>
  File "/tmp/pip-build/suds/setup.py", line 20, in <module>
    import suds
  File "suds/__init__.py", line 154, in <module>
    import client
ImportError: No module named client
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<string>", line 16, in <module>

File "/tmp/pip-build/suds/setup.py", line 20, in <module>

import suds

File "suds/__init__.py", line 154, in <module>

import client

ImportError: No module named client

Which module is this named client and how do I install it if need be?

Answer 1

According to this page, you should try running sudo pip-3.2 install suds-jurko. It looks like suds may not have been updated to work with 3.2 whereas suds-jurko has been. Hope this helps!

EDIT:

From the suds-jurko PyPI page:

Lightweight SOAP client (Jurko's fork).

Based on the original 'suds' project by Jeff Ortel (jortel at redhat dot com) hosted at 'https://fedorahosted.org/suds'.

'Suds' is a lightweight SOAP-based web service client for Python licensed under LGPL (see the LICENSE.txt file included in the distribution).

This is hopefully just a temporary fork of the original suds Python library project created because the original project development seems to have stalled. Should be reintegrated back into the original project if it ever gets revived again.
