Question

For some reason I can get this to work, using single proxy everything seems fine.

#This works
import socks
import urllib2
socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, '68.xx.193.xx', 666)
socks.wrapmodule(urllib2)
print urllib2.urlopen('http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp').read()

&

#This doesn't
import socks
import urllib2
proxies=['68.xx.193.xx','xx.178.xx.70','98.xx.84.xx','83.xx.86.xx']
ports=[666,1080,859,910]
for i in range(len(proxies)):
    socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, repr(proxies[i]), ports[i])
    socks.wrapmodule(urllib2)
    print urllib2.urlopen('http://automation.whatismyip.com/n09230945.asp').read()

Error:

Answer 1

Run this:

proxies=['68.xx.193.xx','xx.178.xx.70','98.xx.84.xx','83.xx.86.xx']
ports=[666,1080,859,910]
for i in range(len(proxies)):
    print (repr(proxies[i]), ports[i])

You’ll get

("'68.xx.193.xx'", 666)
("'xx.178.xx.70'", 1080)
("'98.xx.84.xx'", 859)
("'83.xx.86.xx'", 910)

You’re adding quotes you don’t want with the repr call, so urllib2 thinks it’s a hostname instead of an IP address. Get rid of it and you should be fine.
