problems using authenticated proxy with bash

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. andrea@penguin:~$ http_proxy=my.proxy.org:8080
2. andrea@penguin:~$ proxy-user=user
bash: proxy-user=user: command not found

Hi , the two required variables (proxy-user and proxy-password) can't be
set in bash , because the - sign is a reserved character .
changing 
        proxy_username = os.environ.get('proxy-username')
        proxy_password = os.environ.get('proxy-password')
to 
        proxy_username = os.environ.get('proxy_username')
        proxy_password = os.environ.get('proxy_password')
in  /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/atom/service.py

seems to fix the problem.

In a later version of the python gdata/atom module proxy_username and 
proxy_password are supported.  It now accepts both '-' and '_'.
