As a workaround, if you only need read-only access, you can use the Mercurial mirrors which should work through your proxy (AFAIK Mercurial only uses GET and POST). Type "hg clone http://code.python.org/hg/trunk/" or "hg clone http://code.python.org/hg/branches/py3k" depending on what you need exactly. I do not need the whole branch - only a small subset of files related to distutils. I know that bazaar can't do partial checkouts - it can only fetch the whole branch. What about mercurial? And why not to setup HTTPS for anonymous read and authorized write access? It is not that hard to do and will solve many problems with proxies. Because it requires setting up a certificate. You can use HTTP to do a read-only checkout.

Or you could download a tarball snapshot: http://svn.python.org/snapshots/
