Answer 1

You can set http_proxy environment variable or you can set this information accordly with lib used. As example, requests libs:

import requests

proxies = {
  "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
  "https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080",
}

requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)

UPDATE

A tool that can help in corporate environments is cntlm http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/ , an NTLM / NTLM Session Response / NTLMv2 authenticating HTTP proxy.

Once configured, you only have to point to your proxy in http://localhost:3128.
