You have to authenticate with your proxy via the "NTLM" authentication
method.  This should be documented by Microsoft somewhere, the only
authentication method documented in the HTTP standards is "BASIC".

Once you've found the documentation, you'll have to extend urllib
to give your proxy server the proper NTLM authentication string
in the HTTP headers.

I suspect that the community would be greatful for a contribution
of this nature.
