debianbts.get_bugs does not support passing of proxy into SoapClient. I would try to fix this but I am not sure right now of the correct approach.
pysimplesoap uses httplib2 if it is available and if a specific transport library is not specified in the call to get_http_wrapper, which it is not in this application. See patch above for other changes to reportbug to support proxy handling. Take note that the patch sets the proxy for 'https' to the proxy specified for 'http'. Reportbug itself only allows to specify a single proxy for http, so this was required to support proxying for https. Probably another argument should be added to reportbug for https proxy configuration, in order to prevent simply using the http proxy, which may not be correct. On the other hand, I believe the environment configuration could be changed (i.e. stuff the proxy information into os.environ for the duration of the reportbug session). This would reduce in fewer code changes, which can be considered a good thing. I dont know what approach people wish to take, but part of this is a defect in debianbts which is another package.
