A "urllib2 https proxy" (without the quotes obviously) google search
seems to return a wealth of information about the problem including a
number of contributions people have made to handling it. One such
contribution is:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/456195

A lot of discussion seems to point back to this one.

Here's a whole thread
(http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/bugs/628088) about it,
including another solution which was posted in the last couple of days
in fact (http://bugs.python.org/file9753/http-tunnel-urllib)

Here's another solution: http://www.freshports.org/www/py-openssl-proxy/

I would think out of those three solutions or further search of the
above mentioned google search terms one should be able to solve this
quite readily, no?
