In fact the following also works with Python 2.3.4:
import urllib2
proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http": "http://john:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:3128"})
print urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler).open('http://python.org/').read()
...but only just barely skirts around the bugs!-) :-(
(at least, the current bugs: I've no reason to work out what things
were like back in 2.3.4, but the above certainly works with that
version)
