Using urllib2 with SOCKS proxy

Question

Is it possible to fetch pages with urllib2 through a SOCKS proxy on a one socks server per opener basic? I've seen the solution using setdefaultproxy method, but I need to have different socks in different openers.

So there is SocksiPy library, which works great, but it has to be used this way:

import socks
import socket
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
import urllib2
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, "x.x.x.x", y)

That is, it sets the same proxy for ALL urllib2 requests. How can I have different proxies for different openers?

Try with pycurl:

import pycurl
c1 = pycurl.Curl()
c1.setopt(pycurl.URL, 'http://www.google.com')
c1.setopt(pycurl.PROXY, 'localhost')
c1.setopt(pycurl.PROXYPORT, 8080)
c1.setopt(pycurl.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_SOCKS5)

c2 = pycurl.Curl()
c2.setopt(pycurl.URL, 'http://www.yahoo.com')
c2.setopt(pycurl.PROXY, 'localhost')
c2.setopt(pycurl.PROXYPORT, 8081)
c2.setopt(pycurl.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_SOCKS5)

c1.perform() 
c2.perform()
