No SOCKS support

[Ismael]

There should be support for SOCKS style proxies. SOCKS style proxies are used if you use ssh as a proxy.
For testing, do "ssh localhost -D 9999", this will create a SOCKS proxy on port 9999

You'll want to use Socksipy:
http://socksipy.sourceforge.net/

Here you can see how it should be used:

As a quick hack implementation, changing the set_proxy function (in pandora.py) for this:
    def set_proxy(self, proxy):
        print "PROXY", proxy
        if proxy:
            if "s:" in proxy:
                p = proxy.split(":")
                import socks
                import socket
                socket.socket = socks.socksocket
                socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, p[1], int(p[2]))

            proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'socks': proxy})
            self.opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler)
        else:
            self.opener = urllib2.build_opener()

And expecting socks proxy in the config menu as "s:ip:port", makes it work.

I found the hack provided by the reporter quite useful. An additional patch is required to retrieve album art across the socks proxy. Attached are two patches against the version of Pithos in "proposed" (due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/pithos/+bug/887886) which implement the above patch and the album art patch.

Er... sorry, here are the correct patches.
