On my workplace network, all external HTTP access must go through a proxy, which means that any tool must not only be proxy capable, but also configured to use that proxy. The Python example on the Launchpad page would fail that test, since while Firefox will have proxies configured, Gnome won't unless a user has configured it, and command line tools are pretty much guaranteed not to, since almost all of them do things there own way..
