The various method in python for editing the environment variables, keeps the changes limited to only that process or its child processes. Hence if the implementation is done through main.py, other files to run bash scripts have to be introduced. So, to me it seems exporting proxy settings to the environment variables at /usr/bin/sugar is a fine implementation.
