Given that urllib2 doesn't support https through a proxy, it would probably cause a problem for easy_install, etc. :-) We had to create a custom urllib2 Handler for a couple of our applications. I just looked to see if I should pursue re-working our solution as a patch and saw that Christopher Li has already posted a patch. http://bugs.python.org/issue1424152 And there is also this outstanding ticket: http://bugs.python.org/issue1448934. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
