basla

Python module that allows Tor to be used for sockets and HTTP requests

Installation

To install basla, clone the repository content and run the following command:

$ python3 setup.py install

If you do not have Tor yet (not Tor browser!), follow the official guide to install it, or download the expert bundle from the official website.

NOTE: If you download the expert bundle manually, you will have to link the path to the Tor binary when using basla

import basla
tor  = basla.Tor('/path/to/tor')

Either way, you can just leave it blank.

To use basla you have to bind it to the socket library:

import basla
import socket

tor = basla.Tor()
tor.bind(socket)

Any connection made through the socket library will be proxied through Tor from now on.

It is enough to make it work for requests, urllib, httpx, etc.

You can also use the proxy manually, without binding:

import basla
import requests

tor = basla.Tor()
session = requests.session()
session.proxies = {
    'https': tor.get_formatted_proxy()
}
