In Python 2.x, this opens an NTLM protected URL:
    opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler, auth_NTLM, auth_digest, auth_basic)
    urllib2.install_opener(opener)
    response = urllib2.urlopen(url)

In Python 3.x, this raises an error:
    opener = urllib.request.build_opener(proxy_handler, auth_NTLM, auth_digest, auth_basic)
    urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
    response = urllib.request.urlopen(url)

The error is:
ValueError: AbstractDigestAuthHandler does not support the following scheme: 'NTLM'

Removing auth_digest from the list of handlers allows the code to work.
