proxylib

Platform-agnostic proxy configuration for Python: detect the system/environment proxy settings, evaluate PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) files — including WPAD auto-discovery — and wire the result straight into requests or urllib.

Zero required runtime dependencies; a couple of optional extras unlock more.

For the full feature list, installation extras, quick-start examples for every integration, and known limitations, see the project README. This site adds the generated API reference and the changelog.

Installation

pip install proxylib

Quick start

import requests
from proxylib import auto_proxy, ProxyMapAdapter

proxymap = auto_proxy()  # OS settings -> env vars -> WPAD discovery -> DIRECT

session = requests.Session()
adapter = ProxyMapAdapter(proxymap)
session.mount("http://", adapter)
session.mount("https://", adapter)

response = session.get("https://example.com")
