I'm in favour of keeping integration with system proxy settings, that's more user friendly. Note that _scproxy is an example of triggering this using the standard library, the same may happen when using 3th-party libraries on PyPI if those happen to use a higher-level API from Apple. Even the system provided copy of sqlite is not safe (or at least wasn't, I haven't checked that lately). I expect that similar problems might crop up on other platforms, especially when using threading.
