Tor + Urllib2 Python

I am trying to use tor to get a new IP every time I access a website: 

import socks
import socket
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS4, '127.0.0.1', 9151, True)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
import urllib2
print urllib2.urlopen("http://almien.co.uk/m/tools/net/ip/").read()

I have also tried port 9150, 9050 too.

I keep getting: 

socks.ProxyConnectionError: Error connecting to SOCKS4 proxy 127.0.0.1:9151: [Errno 61] Connection refused
Solution

  • Use stem package to interact with Tor. Official site have many tutorials for different cases, for example:
