This is all good. Thanks for your excellent work. But I really think it would be a good thing if this library could be extended to optionally use the proxy configuration file currently used by IE. As it is working now you need to provide your own proxy.pac, but normally you just want to use the current settings on the machine (BTW this is how the HTTP classes in .NET works. If you want to open an URL you just specify it and the framework will pick up the right proxy to use by parsing the proxy.pac).

I would also like a way to pass the retrieved wpad file into pacparser without having to first download the file to disk.

Perhaps pacparser.parse_pac should accept a url ?
