Cannot install library using 'pip install ulmo' due to suds-surko dependency problem

[sethhill28]

Hello, I am running into an error when trying to install the library using 'pip install ulmo'. I'm attempting to install this in a python virtual environment, here is the error I'm recieving:

There are problems when installing ulmo via pip install, though I haven't seen your particular error. See #212, especially here. For the error reported there, a solution is to pre-install setuptools with version pinning set to <58.

On the other hand, installing ulmo using conda from the conda-forge channel works well. For example:

conda create -n ulmo -c conda-forge python==3.9 ulmo

See my comment in #212 for more details on this workaround, but I've made a pre-built wheel for suds-jurko (the package that has the error) available on GitHub. You can use pip install by installing them side-by-side.

pip install ulmo "suds-jurko @ https://github.com/drivendataorg/suds-jurko-wheel/releases/download/v0.6/suds_jurko-0.6-py3-none-any.whl"

Thank you @jayqi !! That's great.

I will add your solution to the installation instructions. In the meantime, I'll leave this issue open so others can find it easily.
