This should work.  One thing you could try is redefining urllib. proxy_bypass_macosx_sysconf and urllib.getproxies_macosx_sysconf

def getproxies_macosx_sysconf():
   return {}

def proxy_bypass_macosx_sysconf(host):
   return True

urllib. getproxies_macosx_sysconf = getproxies_macosx_sysconf
urllib.proxy_bypass_macosx_sysconf = proxy_bypass_macosx_sysconf

This ensures that urllib doesn't use the OSX specific code for getting the HTTP proxy configuration.   That code should work just fine in a Cocoa program, but it does call into Apple's frameworks and hence might cause problems in some way.
