I can't get easy_install to install anything as it complains it gets a connection refused.:
Searching for BeautifulSoup
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/BeautifulSoup/
Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/BeautifulSoup/: [Errno 61] Connection refused -- Some packages may not be found!
Couldn't find index page for 'BeautifulSoup' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)

No local packages or download links found for BeautifulSoup

If I query the interface I am told the proxy is setup and working (which it definitely appears to be as I can browse, etc.)
networksetup -getautoproxyurl Wi-fi
URL: http://webproxy.******.co.uk/wpad.dat
Enabled: Yes
Visiting https://pypi.python.org/simple/ manually in a browser also works.
It gets more confusing;
I tried setting the proxies manually instead:
djsmiley2k:~$ echo $HTTP_PROXY
webproxy.*******.co.uk:8080
tbowers@tims-mbp:~$ echo $HTTPS_PROXY
webproxy.*******.co.uk:8080
Still no dice :/
Edit:
More urls appear to be affected, unsure if this is some weird resolving error I just happened to have hit at the wrong time:
djsmiley2k:~/bin$ echo $HTTP_PROXY
webproxy.*******.co.uk:8080
djsmiley2k:~/bin$ echo $HTTPS_PROXY
webproxy.*******.co.uk:8080

I've checked and I can access the script directly in a browser, trying to go to http forwards me to https automatically.
