I noticed that with the system Python 2.3.5 on OS X 10.4, the automatic proxy setting doesn't work for urlopen(). It's because the code in urllib.py expects os.name() to return 'mac', and instead it returns 'posix'.
Is this fixed in later versions of Python, anyone know? You can test by calling "urllib.getproxies()" and seeing if it returns your proxysettings.
