[mod_python] urlopen permissions

Hello,
I'm not convinced that this is a specific mod_python problem but I'm not
sure exactly how to explain it in generic terms so hopefully someone here
can point me in the right direction.
I have a python script which calls urllib2.urlopen to open a url on a remote
server (google). It works fine from the command line but when I run it from
a mod_python.psp page I get:

HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Clearly this is something to do with the permissions of the apache user vs
my shell user but what is the safest way to allow this script to run?

Regards,
Emlyn.
