This error does not apply to papyon.

The proxy password must not have escape characters.

My password has a ";" and so the "http_proxy" environment variable has a URL
with escape characters.

The problem occurs because the "test.py" takes the proxy information from the
environment variable (http_proxy), using urllib.getproxies().

It would be interesting to use libproxy on the "test.py" instead of urllib.
