python and SOCKS firewall

I just found a way to get python on a Windows machine to talk through a =
SOCKS firewall.

There is a program called SocksCap (http://www.socks.nec.com/sockscap.html)=
that "socksifies" windows TCP and UDP applications. You launch the tcp =
app with SocksCap, and SocksCap intercepts tcp and udp calls, and =
redirects them through the socks server.

As far as I can tell, python launched with SocksCap is talking fine =
through the socks firewall at my location.

PS SocksCap is free for non-commercial and internal-business use.

I sympathize with the fact that you are stuck using Novell GroupWise
for USENET. However, could you please find a way to limit you line
lengths? You posted long lines that are a PITA to read. FYI.

and we all sympathize with the fact that you're using a
newsreader that is smart enough to understand quoted-
printable encoding, but not smart enough to break long
lines...
