How to make python Requests work via socks proxy

Question

I'm using the great Requests library in my Python script:

import requests r = requests.get("some-site.com") print r.text 

I would like to use socks proxy. But Requests only supports HTTP proxy now.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

The modern way:

pip install -U requests[socks] 

then

import requests  resp = requests.get('http://go.to',                      proxies=dict(http='socks5://user:pass@host:port',                                  https='socks5://user:pass@host:port'))
