However it seems rather non-elegant way to do something so simple and I was hoping not to mess with ProxyHandler, especially since I want *no* proxy... IMHO something like the following would be more elegant: req.set_proxy('','http') or req.set_proxy(None,'http') However these ways *don't* work. You think I should file a feature request somewhere or send this to the python-dev list?
