Does python client support proxy?

Hello, you know the google APIs are blocked in China, so we can only access these APIs by proxy, but I don’t know whether the python client support proxy setup? If yes, please tell me how. If no, could you please add the proxy feature? Thanks!

However, I can set up a global proxy manually by this way, but it a global proxy, other requests would go through with the proxy, which is unnecessary.

import socket
from httplib2 import socks
import google_auth_oauthlib.flow

Socks5 proxy
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 1086)

flow = google_auth_oauthlib.flow.Flow.from_client_secrets_file(
        CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)
flow.authorization_url(
        # Enable offline access so that you can refresh an access token without
        # re-prompting the user for permission. Recommended for web server apps.
        access_type='offline',
        # Enable incremental authorization. Recommended as a best practice.
        include_granted_scopes='true')

Hope there is any better way to handle the issue. 😃

@Folyd, thank you for posting your script! I use Jupyter notebook mostly, and the following snippet from your code helped a lot! For Jupyter notebooks, all interpreters for different notebooks are naturally separated from each other. Then, the solution that you are not satisfied with should work perfectly for Jupyter notebooks.

import socket
from httplib2 import socks
import google_auth_oauthlib.flow

#Socks5 proxy
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "127.0.0.1", 1086)

PS: more on setting things up for those who stumble into this page on Setting up the Shadowsocks Client on Windows 10 machine ==> just be careful when one first sets up the Shadowsocks client. In the same Edit Server window, one get to choose which Proxy Port to enable. To reuse the code snippet above, one need to change the Proxy Port to 1086. The default Proxy Port is 1080.

I my use case, the code snippet worked with a normal Windows 10 Shadowsocks client and Jupyter notebooks hosted on a WSL session.

I tried to use it that way, but on PFSense’s Squid Proxy it’s showing:
