Actually, this piece of code seems to work fine
	# Get our proxy settings from the environment
	proxies = {}
	try:
		for proto in ('http','https','ftp'):
			try:
				proxies[proto] = os.environ[proto+"_proxy"]
			except KeyError:
				pass
		print proxies # my code
		
		if proxies:
			urllib._urlopener = urllib.FancyURLopener(proxies)
	except Exception:

and then the urllib.urlretrieve should work, and it does when run
manually, but somehow not from the cron job. I can't see why.

  the proxy so my update are frozen on

  Elaborazione dei trigger per update-notifier-common...

  Very old issue still not solved... :-(

  #---------------- Workaround for user with same issue ----------------

  As a workaround... while the apt-get update process is frozen on the
  row below

  Elaborazione dei trigger per update-notifier-common...
  flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz

  Opening another terminal...
  wget http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz
  sudo /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/install_plugin $(pwd)/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz
  rm adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz

  then to release the frozen update process, type:

  sudo killall dpkg

  or reboot the pc, then type:

  sudo dpkg --configure -a

  to check and put in a good state the apt env...
