It should work if you sent the environment variable (in your shell) 'http_proxy' to the address of your proxy. Python's urllib will then be able to pull it, and everything should magically work. Something like: export http_proxy='http://some_squid_server' > "....If you are behind an NTLM-based firewall that prevents Python > programs from accessing the net directly, you may wish to first install > and use the APS proxy server, which lets you get past such firewalls in > the same way that your web browser(s) do..... As far as I know, this is only a problem if you're using a particular proxy server from Microsoft. > ps. I'm not sure that this is the right forum for this question.
