I am trying to use tor for anonymous access through privoxy as a proxy using urllib2.
System info: Ubuntu 14.04, recently upgraded from 13.10 through dist-upgrade.
This is a piece of code I am using for test purposes:
import urllib2def req(url):proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http": "127.0.0.1:8118"})opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')]return opener.open(url).read()print req('https://check.torproject.org')
The above outputs a page with a sorry, but you don't use Tor message.
As for my configurations:
/etc/tor/torrc
ControlPort 9051
## If you enable the controlport, be sure to enable one of these
## authentication methods, to prevent attackers from accessing it.

/etc/privoxy/config
forward-socks5 / localhost:9050 .
$ sudo netstat -ntap | grep tor outputs:

$ sudo netstat -ntap | grep privoxy outputs:

And yet, all requests are received at the server with my actual
Edit:
Below code, which is using the requests library, gives the same output:
import requestsdef req(url):proxies = {"http": "http://127.0.0.1:8118"}return requests.get(url, proxies=proxies).textprint req('https://check.torproject.org')
