Yup.  The transport functionality as factored out into the Transport (interface) and 
urllib2 based implementations for just this reason.

I just included a NTLM transport 
https://fedorahosted.org/suds/wiki/Documentation#WindowsNTLM written by Christopher Bess 
that uses python-ntlm which is based on urllib2.  This seems to work without persistent 
connections (or at least it did).  Will this still work?  Are there advantages other then 
persistent connections to using httplib2 over urllib2?
