build_opener takes *args, not a list: import urllib2 handlers = [urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http':'24.232.167.22:80'})] opener = urllib2.build_opener(*handlers) or just: import urllib2 proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http':'24.232.167.22:80'}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler) Also, IIRC 2.4 does not allow ports in proxy specification strings (the values in the dict you pass to ProxyHandler's constructor), and IIRC 2.5a1 ProxyHandler is broken (it's fixed in the SVN repository).
