+ Alternatively, the optional \var{proxies} argument may be used to
+ explicitly specify proxies. It must be a dictionary mapping scheme
+ names to proxy URLs, where an empty dictionary causes no proxies to be
+ used, and \code{None} (the default value) causes environmental proxy
+ settings to be used as discussed above. For example:
+
+ \begin{verbatim}
+ # Use http://www.someproxy.com:3128 for http proxying
+ proxies = proxies={'http': 'http://www.someproxy.com:3128'}
+ filehandle = urllib.urlopen(some_url, proxies=proxies)
+ # Don't use any proxies
+ filehandle = urllib.urlopen(some_url, proxies={})
+ # Use proxies from environment - both versions are equivalent
+ filehandle = urllib.urlopen(some_url, proxies=None)
+ filehandle = urllib.urlopen(some_url)
+ \end{verbatim}

specification. If you need to override environmental proxy settings,

environmental proxy settings will be used if present, as discussed in
the definition of \function{urlopen()}, above.
