Summary: Problem with urllib and proxies / Win32

Initial Comment:
There's a problem with urllib on Windows. Here's a
quote which relates to the problem:

"""
In the newest version of the urllib.   They added a
section which pulls the http web_proxy from the
windows NT registry.         Unfortunately they did not
think to check for 127.0.0.1 and remove it from
the proxy list and they also did not handle (no proxy
addresses).  As a result the new library reads the
proxy settings from the Windows NT Registry for IE and
attempts to use them.
"""

Any thoughts on how to solve this ?
