Public bug reported:

pyax is blocking when making SOAP calls to the salesforce API as the
beatbox engine uses urllib2.openurl.

Concurrency needs to be added at some level - either in pyax or at the
beatbox level.

twisted's deferToThread can be a great help here.

I believe that beatbox's SoapEnvelope.post call is the best place to
consider first. The call is already built by the time it uses urlopen to
send the request, so there should be no concurrency issues there.

If this call were spun off to a thread:

        try:
            response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
        except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
            # an HTTPError can function as an urlopen response in the case of
            # an error
            response = e

and package the code that processes the response as the callback, this
just might be sufficient.
