As a workaround, if you only need read-only access, you can use the Mercurial
mirrors which should work through your proxy (AFAIK Mercurial only uses GET and
POST).

Type "hg clone http://code.python.org/hg/trunk/" or "hg clone
http://code.python.org/hg/branches/py3k" depending on what you need exactly.
