doing a simple request with the requests module causes the error below. This error is due to me using a proxy for web browsers only. However i dont want my requests module to use that proxy. Using selenium, or the standard urllib modules does not do the same.

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    soup = bs(requests.get(url).text, 'html.parser')

requests.exceptions.InvalidSchema: Missing dependencies for SOCKS support.

1) Why does the requests library cause this error?
2) Is there a better way to handle it than to do something like....

import requests
requests = requests.Session()
requests.trust_env = False
...

You can pass a proxy as a parameter to get() method. I've never used it.
See this in SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30837...ion-object

Or you want to bypass it?

that is if you want to add a proxy to your request. Isnt it? I dont want to have a proxy on my request at all, but it is using my browser proxy anyways.
