urllib2 (under windows) will auto-detect your proxy settings and use those.
Normally that's a good thing (I guess), except when it's not !
How do I switch off this behaviour ? I'm behind a censoring proxy and wanting to test things *locally*. IE is set to not use the proxy when fetching local adresses, but urllib2 ignores that part of the setting and uses the proxy for everything.
The only way I can test are changing my IE settings back and forth every time. Most annoying.
I can see how to *add* a new proxy to urllib2, but not how to force it to not use a proxy. I may well be missing something obvious though. Anyone able to help ? Regards,

"Alternatively, the optional proxies argument may be used to explicitly specify proxies.
It must be a dictionary mapping scheme names to proxy URLs, where an empty dictionary causes no proxies to be used"
# Don't use any proxies
filehandle = urllib.urlopen(some_url, proxies={})
