The connect that times out is this, discovered using strace:
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(443), sin_addr=inet_addr("91.189.89.226")}, 16

Do your proxy variable values start with http:// ?

This may be a duplicate of bug #558343

[Simon Fraser (simonfr)]

They do (with hostname, for privacy):
$ env |grep -i proxy
http_proxy=http://hostname:3128/
HTTPS_PROXY=http://hostname:3128/
https_proxy=http://hostname:3128/
HTTP_PROXY=http://hostname:3128/

I don't get a "NotImplementedError" as in bug #558343, I simply get 'Connection timed out' because it's trying to contact 91.189.89.226 without using the proxy.

I tried 'bzr -Dhttp branch lp:mailman' after discovering that option in the ticket you linked, but the output is the same.

[Martin Pool (mbp)]

As a workaround you can say "bzr branch bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/mailman".

It seems likely this is a bug in your xmlrpclib version, not in bzr. Fixing bug 397739 will avoid the issue.
