urllib2, proxies, and pac files on OS X

[Mani Ghasemlou]

Hi all,

urllib2 correctly detects proxies as configured in my preferences pane
on OS X 10.5:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 13 2009, 10:26:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
However, when configuring a proxy via PAC file, this does not seem to
be the case:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan 13 2009, 10:26:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Is there any way to obtain (and parse using something like pacparser)
the PAC file via urllib2 (or some other standard python library), or
is this something I need to tackle using Cocoa (in my case PyObjC)?

Thanks a lot!

Mani
