Well, after adding ProxyOverride support  myself, a few weeks ago, I
noticed that a similar fix could have been found in the CVS repository,
already, since August :-) 

It has been added in 1.129. See

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/python/python/dist/src/Lib/urllib.py.diff?r1=1.128&r2=1.129
