Google geocoder through proxy

[wwwald]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use geopy's Google geocoder over the institution's proxy
here. Geopy does everything as it should, but I get an HTTP 403
"Forbidden" error when geopy tries to access Google.

Now, apparently this is a problem with urllib2. This lib is supposed
to auto-detect proxy settings and *should* work, but apparently
something goes wrong there. Consequently, the urlopen() command in
geocode_url() does not work and no address resolution happens. The
proxy is an ISA proxy server with authentication...

Has anyone got experience with this? Any remedy?

Thanks a bunch for any pointers,

Uh... forgot an important detail: I'm working with Python 2.5 on
WinXP.
