CJ Kucera added the comment: Ah, well, actually I suppose I'll rescind that a bit - other pages about this bug around the internet had been claiming that the 'requests' module uses urllib in the backend and was subject to this bug as well, but after experimenting myself, it seems like if that IS the case, they're working around it somehow, because using requests makes this succeed 100% of the time. I probably should've tried that first!
So anyway, there's a reasonable workaround, at least.
