setuptools uses python to download dependencies. To the best of my

as setuptools becomes ubiquitous (which on balance is a good thing of
course) - and programmers become less aware of the dependencies for their
code - certain types of users (behind company firewalls for example) will
struggle. *sigh*
If someone has written code for Python to work with SOCKS proxies, I'd
imagine that Phillip would be interested in trying to integrate it. As
setuptools becomes more common, the rough edges will likely be worked
out. Phillip has worked out *a lot* of rough edges over the past few
weeks.
I think a lot of these things can be done through `PyCurl
<http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/>`_.
I was considering seeing if urllib2 could be hacked to optionally use
pycurl for some of it's features - sounds like a lot of work though.
I might mail Phillip about this...
All the best,
