I am trying to work on some code that will fetch all hyperlinks from a webpage url using the python.

The code works perfectly fine when i try to run the code at home network without my proxy. When i have to show the code to my teacher in my University - it would never work because of the proxy my University is using . Its proxy that all students use to connect to the internet is proxy4.nehu.ac.in how do i code so that it will go through the proxyport. please help i have been trying other stuff by no luck for so many days.
my code is :

import sys
import urllib
import urlparse

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
def process(url):
page = urllib.urlopen(url) 
text = page.read()
page.close()
soup = BeautifulSoup(text) 
with open('s.txt','w') as file:
    for tag in soup.findAll('a', href=True):
        tag['href'] = urlparse.urljoin(url, tag['href'])
        print tag['href']
        file.write('\n')
        file.write(tag['href'])


def main():
   if len(sys.argv) == 1:
   print 'No url !!'
   sys.exit(1)
for url in sys.argv[1:]:

this is the error
