Requests Proxy Not Working

I am currently writing a scraper for testing want to access the site with a different IP, I have found a lot of information about using a proxy and tried this several times, howeve

Solution 1:

You need to define a proxy for the HTTP and or a HTTPS protocol. I'm not sure if requests works with SOCKS protocol yet

This works for me.

import requests
import bs4

proxy = {"http": "115.227.195.213"}
response = requests.get('http://www.whatsmyip.de/', proxies=proxy)
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(response.text)

print soup.h3.text

Note: It uses the bs4 module to print the ip and I used a proxy server that is HTTP compatible
