[Tutor] URLLIB Proxy Question

[Curtis Larsen]

I'm new to Python and am trying to get the URLLIB working using an HTTP
proxy, but I can't seem to get the magic combination together.
I set up a variable named "http_proxy" with the (apparent?) value of
"http://servername:port/", but it's still no go.
The latest error message I receive is "AssertionError: proxies must be a
mapping"

A "mapping" what...?

Suggestions?  Ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Curtis



PS: Sorry for the disclaimer -- can't avoid it.
