Answer 1

Perhaps the problem is not with the firewall per se, but with the fact that you need to use an HTTP proxy. If you do need to use a proxy, try setting the http_proxy environment variable. It might be that your firewall uses NTLM proxy authentication (which Python doesn't support); in this case, try setting up an APS proxy server on your local machine, and point http_proxy to localhost.

Answer 2

You can run TG locally from windows. The tgsetup.py method of installation uses setuptools which depends on being able to bring in .egg files from the internet. The best approach would be to open the firewall to eggs, as others suggested. TG has a list of egg files that you can try to bring manually (maybe from an open internet connection). Installing an egg manually is possible, but not recommended.

If changing the firewall rules is not possible, you can use a Linux (bootable or virtual) installation that has a pre-configured TG package. For example, Fedora has one. This way, the TG package crosses (hopefully) the firewall as an .rpm file.

Answer 3

You could use the old firewall hack... try throwing "?file.jpg" or "#file.jpg" on the end (sans quotes). The firewall may see this as you're trying to download an image file which it'll allow, the responding server probably won't care that you've attached a query string, and (I think) python will just see an egg.

Answer 4

Add python to the firewall exceptions list. Just make sure you don't run any questionable code made in python, of course.

Answer 5

This might not be what you are looking for, but you can bypass the proxy tunneling SSH. Another possibility is using Tor.
