Well that is the problem. Now you have to fix it. The proxy comes either 
from the environment variable HTTP_PROXY or from the Windows registry, I 
think it is the proxyServer value of the key 
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
but I'm not on Windows and this is no longer a Python question so that 
is as far as I will take it.
