[Distutils] Uploading an egg behind a proxy

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

    I would like to upload an egg to the cheeseshop, but I have a 
problem because my network is behind a proxy. My configuration is 
unusual in the sense that my network has no DNS server, and everything 
is done through the proxy: proxy has to be used to access an url:

Submitting dist/numscons-0.3.1-py2.5.egg to http://www.python.org/pypi
(-2, 'Name or service not known')

I know for sure I can access pypi, and that this is a proxy related 
problem (other python projects relying on urllib2 had similar problems, 
e.g. bzr).

cheers,

David
