According to the manual pages, both urllib and urllib2 support proxies automatically, based on the http_proxy environment variable.
I do not use a proxy myself, so I'm asking sebsauvage to help us debug this problem: did you get any error messages? How did loading the repo fail? What's the output of this command:
echo $http_proxy
How did you configure your proxy?
