Hi,

first of all - great project!

Any chance to add a configurable HTTP, SOCKS proxy support for the requests made towards Google?

Something like this:

  if proxy:
            if proxy["type"] == "socks4":
                self.c.setopt(pycurl.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_SOCKS4)
            elif proxy["type"] == "socks5":
                self.c.setopt(pycurl.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_SOCKS5)
            else:
                self.c.setopt(pycurl.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_HTTP)

            self.c.setopt(pycurl.PROXY, str(proxy["address"]))
            self.c.setopt(pycurl.PROXYPORT, proxy["port"])

            if proxy["username"]:
                self.c.setopt(
                    pycurl.PROXYUSERPWD,
                    "{0}:{1}".format(proxy["username"], proxy["password"])
                )

This way the search could be even more private.

Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah that's definitely going to be a feature, likely to be implemented at the same time as (or shortly after) #24.

Actually going to merge #24 with this one. It seems like there will be a fair amount of overlap between the two.

Tor implementation:

crl.setopt(crl.PROXY, "0.0.0.0")
crl.setopt(crl.PROXYPORT, 9050)
crl.setopt(crl.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_SOCKS5)
