[Tutor] http_proxy variable

[Bunting, Glen, IG (x)]

Hi,

I have just downloaded the NTLM Authorization proxy server fro the Vaults of
Parnassus.  I works pretty good.  I can use other applications besides IE to
access the internet from work now.  However I am unable to get Python to use
the proxy using urllib.  According to the Library Reference, I need to: 
set the http_proxy, ftp_proxy or gopher_proxy environment variables to a URL
that identifies the proxy server before starting the Python interpreter. For
example (the "%" is the command prompt): 
	% http_proxy="http://www.someproxy.com:3128"
	% export http_proxy
	% python

Can someone tell me how to do this running Activestate Python on Windows
2000?

Thanks

Glen
