[Pythonmac-SIG] For your eyes only: new 2.3rc1+ installer

[Chris Lee]

Oddly enough that gave me the hint I needed to get fink working (which  
makes me a happy man...) but didn't work with the package manager (same  
error)

I take it from this that the shell doesn't get and set the http_proxy  
variable from the system preferences?

Cheers
Chris
