Is there a way to use sock5 proxy to use TOR with requests? I know that requests only use http proxy...
import requests
r = requests.get('http://www.google.com',proxies= my_proxy)

To use a proxy in Python, first import the requests package. Next create a proxies dictionary that defines the HTTP and HTTPS connections. This variable should be a dictionary that maps a protocol to the proxy URL. Additionally, make a url variable set to the webpage you're scraping from.
Your traffic is routed through a proxy server that generates an arbitrary IP address before you reach your destination. Technically speaking, SOCKS5 (the latest version) uses proxy servers to form User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections through arbitrary IP addresses.
HTTP proxies can add a layer of security between the client and the server and can detect and deny suspicious data packets or spyware. SOCKS proxies do not directly use the HTTP protocol. It is commonly used for more general purposes such as content streaming and P2P file sharing.
Click the Apple icon at the top left of the menu bar on your screen and select System Preferences. Select Network and then Proxies. Click the Advanced button to access the Network settings and navigate to the Proxies tab. Click the SOCKS Proxy checkbox and enter the host and port information.
You can use socks, socket modules
import socks
import socket
from urllib import request
socks.set_default_proxy(socks.SOCKS5, "localhost", 9050)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
r = request.urlopen('http://icanhazip.com')
print(r.read()) # check ips
The socks package can be installed from multiple packages which are forks of socksipy. One particular one that also works on Python3 is PySocks. You can install it, for example, with pip:
pip3 install PySocks
I think at the moment requests works with socks5 out of the box.
import requests
url = 'https://example.com'
proxies = {'http': 'socks5://127.0.0.1:9150',
'https': 'socks5://127.0.0.1:9150'}
r = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
