[issue20585] urllib2 unrelease KQUEUE on Mac OSX 10.9+

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily added the comment:

It looks like the culprit is _scproxy, an internal C extension, that urllib2 (py2) and urllib.request (py3) use on OS X to access the system configuration for network proxies.  If you aren't using any proxies, a workaround is to define an environment variable:

    export no_proxy='*'

which causes urllib2/urllib to bypass checking the system configuration.
