Just a short, simple one about the excellent Requests module for Python.
I can't seem to find in the documentation what the variable 'proxies' should contain. When I send it a dict with a standard "IP:PORT" value it rejected it asking for 2 values. So, I guess (because this doesn't seem to be covered in the docs) that the first value is the ip and the second the port?
The docs mention this only:
proxies – (optional) Dictionary mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy.
So I tried this... what should I be doing?
proxy = { ip: port}
and should I convert these to some type before putting them in the dict?
r = requests.get(url,headers=headers,proxies=proxy)

The proxies' dict syntax is {"protocol": "scheme://ip:port", ...}. With it you can specify different (or the same) proxie(s) for requests using http, https, and ftp protocols:
http_proxy = "http://10.10.1.10:3128"
https_proxy = "https://10.10.1.11:1080"
ftp_proxy = "ftp://10.10.1.10:3128"
proxies = {
"http" : http_proxy,
"https" : https_proxy,
"ftp" : ftp_proxy
}
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, proxies=proxies)
Deduced from the requests documentation:
Parameters:
method– method for the new Request object.
url– URL for the new Request object.
...
proxies– (optional) Dictionary mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy.
...
On linux you can also do this via the HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and FTP_PROXY environment variables:
export HTTP_PROXY=10.10.1.10:3128
export HTTPS_PROXY=10.10.1.11:1080
export FTP_PROXY=10.10.1.10:3128
On Windows:
set http_proxy=10.10.1.10:3128
set https_proxy=10.10.1.11:1080
set ftp_proxy=10.10.1.10:3128
