For details, visit:

• Project site: https://fedorahosted.org/suds/
• Documentation https://fedorahosted.org/suds/wiki/Documentation

Since the original library is no longer supported and documentation also disappeared along with it.

A copy of the documentation is hosted at https://suds-py3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

This is not my original documentation however I have reformatted to sphinx rST style and updated few parts to keep the code examples clean and working.

Pull requests are welcome for the docs.
