I get this error message ONLY WHEN http_proxy variable is set.

Python 2.7.10

[jaimeMF]

It works fine for me, that line of code is executed without problem. Could you try with an official cpython build?

[Garfield222]

I tried with latest python python-2.7.10.msi (md5sum 4ba2c79b103f6003bc4611c837a08208). Started from CMD with windows python. Same error:

I can reproduce this as well. It's a python issue.
