This is because I run Privoxy on my machine as an HTTP proxy, *and*

System Preferences / Network) things seem to work.
So, the code in Sage will work if I say,
% sage -python -c "import urllib; print
urllib.FancyURLopener({}).retrieve('http://www.sagemath.org//
packages')"
That is, explicitly disable proxies for this retrieval. But if I'm
behind a corporate firewall which *requires* proxies, that would fail
in turn...
This is a Python bug, #8883, fixed in Python 2.6.6 and 2.7. I presume
upgrading the version of Python used with Sage would be a major
undertaking...
It's mostly done. You could help:
