title: How to use HTTP proxies in Python3?
body: <p>I am trying to connect to websites using HTTP proxies. I have tried using the requests modules' way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  
  proxies = {'http': '1.0.0.1:808'}
  
      a = requests.get('https://www.google.com', proxies=proxies)
      print(a.text)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the example code in the requests module's documentation. The code will print out the source of Google completely ignoring anything in the dictionary. I can't see what I'm doing wrong.</p>
  
  <p>I have scoured the internet looking how to check and use a HTTP proxy in Python3 and have had no luck. </p>
  
  <p>Everything I find is in Python 2. </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.</p>
