The problem appears to be related to https (maybe openssl?) I just did the following test:

>py -2
Python 2.7.12rc1 (v2.7.12rc1:13912cd1e7e8, Jun 12 2016, 05:57:31) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from urllib2 import urlopen
>>> urlopen('http://www.google.co.uk')
<addinfourl at 41091336L whose fp = <socket._fileobject object at 0x00000000026902A0>>
>>> urlopen('https://www.google.co.uk')

The HTTPS query caused the crash.
