First off, your password wont work. See if you can get a new one. :-) Then to setup proxy suppor for urllib2, do the steps: proxy_url = 'http://' + PROXY_USER + ':' + PROXY_PASSWORD + \ '@' + PROXY_IP + ':' + PROXY_PORT proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': proxy_url}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, urllib2.HTTPHandler) urllib2.install_opener(opener) Substitute PROXY_* with actual values and then do urllib2.urlopen(site) which will go through the proxy. -- O.R.Senthil Kumaran http://uthcode.sarovar.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
