What is the easiest way to set a proxy in python (chrome)?

Question

In these days I have searched to change the proxy settings while I'm opening an incognito mode page with webbrowser module.
I have found the selenium module that can let you to do that, but it's quite difficult to set and it has given me problem when I tried (like permissions and paths). And also to use selenium you have to install "chromewebdriver.exe" from thier web page, and it's so annoying 'cause I have to install my .py script on many comptuers.
So I'm asking if there's method in webbrowser to do that, and else if what the easiest way to set a proxy in python?

Answer 1

For Linux & Mac you can set proxy settings in your bash_profile or bashrc file, these would be globally set for your OS and you can write a script that sets and unsets the proxy settings.
For Windows I am sure you can do the same thing in CMD or powershell

Answer 2

Answer 3

import os, webbrowser
def proxy(proxyserveraddress, proxyport):
os.system('reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d ' + proxyserveraddress + ':' + proxyport + ' /f')
os.system('reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f')
proxy("212.237.56.83", "8080")
url = "http://met.bz/bjL3Vje"
chrome_path = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s --incognito"
webbrowser.get(chrome_path).open(url)
That's the code that now I use
It works very well, Thanks Steven
