title: How to make urllib2 requests through Tor in Python?
body: <p>I'm trying to crawl websites using a crawler written in Python. I want to integrate Tor with Python meaning I want to crawl the site anonymously using Tor.</p>
  
  <p>I tried doing this. It doesn't seem to work. I checked my IP it is still the same as the one before I used tor. I checked it via python.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import urllib2
  proxy_handler = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"tcp":"http://127.0.0.1:9050"})
  opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_handler)
  urllib2.install_opener(opener)
  </code></pre>
