Nope the problem is when i ask it to fetch google.com the linux getaddressbyhost returns "error host not found" so even if i give the proxy ip in hosts the process doesnot proceed to the point where proxy will actually be consulted. > | This is not limited to python, even wget doesn't work with named > | sites.

Actually according to google contracts i think its not.
