requests: how to disable / bypass proxy

I am getting an url with: r = requests.get("http://myserver.com") As I can see in the 'access.log' of "myserver.com", the client's system proxy is used. But I want to disable using proxies at all with requests.
The only way I'm currently aware of for disabling proxies entirely is the following: Create a session Set session.trust_env to False Create your request using that session import requests session = requests.Session() session.trust_env = False response = session.get('http://www.stackoverflow.com') This is based on this comment by Lukasa and the (limited) documentation for requests.Session.trust_env. Note: Setting trust_env to False also ignores the following: Authentication information from .netrc (code) CA bundles defined in REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE or CURL_CA_BUNDLE (code) If however you only want to disable proxies for a particular domain (like localhost), you can use the NO_PROXY environment variable: import os import requests os.environ['NO_PROXY'] = 'stackoverflow.com' response = requests.get('http://www.stackoverflow.com')
