I wanna use urllib2 to get a page with a socks 5 proxy,who can give me
a sample code ?

example,
the proxy server is :123.123.123.123
and the port is :1080
and the username/password is : user/pass
I want to open http://www.google.com

how to write this kind of script?
thanks.

kind.

I think you'll have to use pycurl (extension library - not in standard
lib). This is mcuh more powerful, but not so simple to use.

All the best,

I haven't used it myself (though curiously, ftplib knows about this
module and will use it if present -- and urllib2 uses ftplib to fetch
ftp: URLs), but you could try this

http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/dr...ForPython.html
And monkeypatch urllib2 (and everything else that uses module socket!)
something like so (UNTESTED):

import sys, os

os.environ['SOCKS_SERVER'] = 'joe:pa******@proxy.example.org'
import SOCKS
from socket import getfqdn
SOCKS.getfqdn = getfqdn
sys.modules['socket'] = SOCKS
del getfqdn, SOCKS

import urllib2
then just use urllib2 normally...
