Specifying a proxy programatically

Is there any way you could support specifying a proxy programatically, like so:

r = praw.Reddit('Example bot', proxy='http://0.0.0.0/')
r.login()

I would much rather have this than having to deal with config files, and I’m sure others feel the same. If not, would it be pulled if I did this myself?

If you configure a custom Session, you can accomplish this without environment variables. You need to modify Session.proxies.

import praw
from requests import Session

session = Session()
session.proxies['https'] = 'https://0.0.0.0'
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='SI8pN3DSbt0zor',
                     client_secret='xaxkj7HNh8kwg8e5t4m6KvSrbTI',
                     password='1guiwevlfo00esyy',
                     requestor_kwargs={'session': session},  # pass Session
                     user_agent='testscript by /u/fakebot3',
                     username='fakebot3')

I’m deleting my other two comments because I don’t think they’re helpful.

Is there any means of checking the ip connecting to Reddit via Praw?

I don’t believe so, but @bboe can probably correct me if I’m wrong.

Are there any methods from the Reddit entity which return the current proxy after using Session() as shown above

It’s not very elegant, but:

print(reddit._core._requestor._http.proxies)
