[Nottingham] Python behind proxy

Wed Dec 19 06:33:58 UTC 2012

Hi,

It threw the following error but it must have set the environment variable
anyway because the second time I ran it it without the http_proxy it worked
fine. Thank you that has been annoying me for a while now.

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

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Stripes.
