Connect to Google API Geocoding failed: URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10060]

[jenn...@gmail.com]

I tried to use the code below to connect Google API Geocoding

import simplejson, urllib, urllib2

proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http":"www-myproxy"})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)

html = urllib2.urlopen('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=121+Dartmouth+Street+Boston+MA&key=Mykey')
print html.read()

I got error as :

Traceback (most recent call last):

    html = urllib2.urlopen('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=121+Dartmouth+Street+Boston+MA&key=Mykey')

    raise URLError(err)
URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond>

I browsed through all the online discuss on this error, tried all kinds of solution worked out for other users. I still get the same error.

Not sure whether it is because of the company Firewall? Or the code has error?

Thanks
