set_proxy in urllib2 is driving my crazy

[est]

A simple py script

import urllib2
req=urllib2.Request("http://www.google.com")
req.set_proxy("127.0.0.1:1","http")
print urllib2.urlopen(req).read()




Here is error:

"C:\Python25\python.exe" -u "E:\Python\Crawler\test.py"


Traceback (most recent call last):

I built a proxy with CCproxy 6.3.2 on my own machine, and it's working
absolutely all right, but how can my simple python script go wrong ?

A simple py script

import urllib2
req=urllib2.Request("http://www.google.com")
req.set_proxy("127.0.0.1:1","http")
print urllib2.urlopen(req).read()

Try to use the ProxyHandler of urllib2.

import urllib2
proxy_url = 'http://' + PROXY_USER + ':' + PROXY_PASSWORD + \ '@' + PROXY_IP + ':' + PROXY_PORT
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': proxy_url})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, urllib2.HTTPHandler)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
print urllib2.urlopen(req).read()

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error (10054, 'Connection reset by peer')>

The error indicates a network issue. Please see the difference when you use
the ProxyHandler to try it.
