Hi,

I'm reluctant to do this. For one thing, a fixed bzr will be released
soon. For another there are two easy workarounds, installing pycurl,
or prefixing the url with "nosmart+".

Also, it is hoped to be able to drop pycurl and move to urllib in
the future, so helping to shake out the bugs is a good thing.

Thanks,

James
