        The urllib2 logic regarding ``build_opener(*handlers)`` is:

        - It has a list of default handlers to use

        - If a subclass or an instance of one of those default handlers is given
            in ``*handlers``, it overrides the default one.

        Suds uses a custom {'protocol': 'proxy'} mapping in self.proxy, and adds
        a ProxyHandler(self.proxy) to that list of handlers.
        This overrides the default behaviour of urllib2, which would otherwise
        use the system configuration (environment variables on Linux, System
        Configuration on Mac OS, ...) to determine which proxies to use for
        the current protocol, and when not to use a proxy (no_proxy).

        Thus, passing an empty list will use the default ProxyHandler which
        behaves correctly.
