Hmmmm... I am not sure, but as far as I can see the problem is, that
"export" isn't valid python. Looks to me that you are mixing up bash and
python a bit.
If I type "export" or "export HTTP_PROXY=127.0.0.1:1080" into the python
shell I get the following error:

-------
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Nov  4 2007, 09:33:30)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> export
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

    export HTTP_PROXY=127.0.0.1:1080
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

But I am neither a python nor a bash guru ;).

Hope I am not too wrong and that I could help...
