proxy in urlopen()

Egor Bolonev

how they define proxy in urlopen? i've tried

a=urlopen('url', proxies=('127.0.0.1:3128'))
a=urlopen('url', proxies='127.0.0.1:3128')

but it says there is an error

==================================
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "getlinks.py", line 3, in ?
a=urlopen('http://forum.octopusnet.lan/',

This is telling you proxies must be a mapping type, in this case, a
dictionary. So try replacing:
a=urlopen('url', proxies=('127.0.0.1:3128'))

With this:

a=urlopen('url', proxies={ 'http': '127.0.0.1:3128' })

HTH,
