Julian Scheid added the comment: FWIW, I've run into the same issue in a homegrown application with 2.6.8, 2.7.2 and 2.7.3 (these were the only versions I've tested).
Looking around a little bit, I suspect this might be a bug in SCDynamicStoreCopyProxies that's only present on OS X 10.7 and only triggered when invoked in a forked child (?) [1][2]. I've tried working around it by invoking SCDynamicStoreCopyProxies with a non-NULL SCDynamicStoreRef but to no avail. Since I don't need this Python application to use HTTP proxies, I'm working around it now like this: proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler) request = urllib2.Request(...) response = opener.open(request) [1] http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1295113.html [2] https://github.com/suminb/spider/issues/7 ---------- nosy: +Julian.Scheid _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13829> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
