Just a heads up to anyone trying to install 0.9 from behind a proxy,
setuptools hates you. Specifically it uses a socket call to try and
find a mirror to sourceforge, which fails if all of your network
requests have to go behind a proxy. I poked around for a while and
found no low hanging well documented fruit for another way of doing
this, so I just made the offending function (get_sf_ip) return the
domain name of a proxy instead. (easynews.dl.sourceforge.net for
example). I know this is the wrong way to do it, but have no clue how
the right way is supposed to happen.

Anyways, two questions here. 1. Who do I get in contact with for
setuptools to make them aware of this? and 2. Why did 0.9a1 want to
download Cheetah(the offending package) in the first place?
