[Nottingham] Python behind proxy

sudo env http_proxy=http://my.proxy:80/ add-apt-repository ppa:voria/ppa

> __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1);
> exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read());
> main()"

sudo env http_proxy=http://my.proxy:80/  python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = ....'

fairly sure both of those will read the environment variable http_proxy
anyway...
