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.
