build_opener takes *args, not a list:

import urllib2
handlers = [urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http':'24.232.167.22:80'})]
opener = urllib2.build_opener(*handlers)


or just:

import urllib2
proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http':'24.232.167.22:80'})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler)


Also, IIRC 2.4 does not allow ports in proxy specification strings
(the values in the dict you pass to ProxyHandler's constructor), and
IIRC 2.5a1 ProxyHandler is broken (it's fixed in the SVN repository).
