Flask gevent when downloading url do through proxy

Question

I have a simple flask application I am running through the gevent server.

app = Flask(__name__)

def console(cmd):
    p = Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=PIPE)
    while True:
        data = p.stdout.read(512)
        yield data
        if not data:
            break
        if isinstance(p.returncode, int):
            if p.returncode > 0:
                # return code was non zero, an error?
                print 'error:', p.returncode
            break

@app.route('/mp3', methods=['POST'])
def generate_large_mp3():
    video_url = "url.com"
    title = 'hello'

    mp3 = console('command')
    return Response(stream_with_context(mp3),  mimetype="audio/mpeg3",
                       headers={"Content-Disposition": 'attachment;filename="%s.mp3"' % filename})
if __name__ == '__main__':
    http_server = WSGIServer(('', 5000), app)
    http_server.serve_forever()

How would I be able to make it so when my my console function runs that it runs via a proxy to download the url instead of the ip of the server?

Answered it,

Needed to simply update the env variable in the Popen

env = dict(os.environ)
env['http_proxy'] = proxies[random.randrange(0, len(proxies))]
env['https_proxy'] = proxies[random.randrange(0, len(proxies))]
