Setuptools 58.0.2 fails fast when installing packages that want 2to3. https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2769

The fundamental issue is with suds-jurko. Its development has been abandoned and it does not work correctly any longer.

The devs of this project have an active pull request to switch to suds-community - the fix the long abandoned suds-jurko project. This PR has been there for the last few months with no movement.

The last update of this codebase was April 2022. These devs are not paying attention to this project either.

You can switch to this project, which has a patched version of suds.
